Silent Screams

For all the pure children, with trembling hands
You thought you were free, but in come the bands
Why is there vex, for such a good stranger?
So what I'm ugly? Beauty's just danger

Yelling and screaming, clean up this mess
There's no more joy, just pain and stress
I hold up the world, there's no room for blunder
Sure I'm breathing, but soon I'll be under

Pull of the tide, shift of the current
I try to fight, but still come out burnt
Like a weak man, shame head a goner
Yes I'm strong, but this world is stronger

I guess I'm a saint, such a delicate feather
I say I'm fine, but can't hold it together
Come lost soles, of the weeping mothers
Yes I'm happy, but only to others
