Don't tell me silence sounds like nothing,
Silence is my nights,
Every word playing over and over,
Until nothing turns into every single damn thing,
Drowning out the one voice I have,
How am I to distinguish what voice is mine because soon enough I accept the wrong one,
Because once everyone else hates you,
You hate you,
Silence is when it hits you,
Alone in your bathroom on the floor,
Or even somewhere else,
All the forced noise just becomes a buzz,
And you feel it,
People speak because everybody is afraid of silence,
Silence gives you space to think,
And thinking isn't for the best my love,
Thinking brings up memories,
And darling we all know how hard you worked to shut those out,
But people aren't much better,
They act like they understand you and they don't,
But then again I don't either,
So soon enough you're going to be convinced the voices in your head care,
And we know that isn't true,
But they tell you to just eat a little less,
But they accompany you at your worst,
They encourage you to cut a little more,
But they help you fake a smile,
Then you realize the voice don't exist,
The voices,
Your childhood friend,
The voices are you,
Lost in a pool of silence.
