My eyes speak for me where my tongue fails
And though I seem complacent, my heart wails
In my head, I spin tall tales
That maybe one day I'll take off the veil.
I was sworn to silence you see,
And it's a terrible secret I keep
To let it out is to reveal
Oceans of sores and pain knee deep
It's quite impossible to hold it in
But to let it out is a grave sin
And so, that all parties may win
I have kept silent ever since
These things I know broke my soul
Ripped me apart through skin and bone
Stole my humanity and all I know
Leaving me empty and hollow.
