The Unity Of Us - Drowning In Silence

The Barracks
#21

Verse I:
Shhh, do you hear that? Total silence
How about we fix that with a dose of violence
Strike me peacefully, hit me quitely
Knowing that it all ends so violently
Now I suppose, how does this thing works?
Tryin’ not to hear them, from the madness of their voices
Cause you leave me no other choice
Everything I hoped to save, destroyed
Left in the darkness
Feels like solitary confinement

Pre-chorus:
So now I stand up and open my eyes
Rising up with the fires inside

Chorus 1:
Feeling out of balance
I am drowning in silence
Sigh, sigh - nothing still
Cry, cry - silent shrill
I hear the screams
Even in my dreams
Shout, shout - makes me ill
Out, out - they can kill

Verse 2
Peering into darkness, I’m at the edge of listening
Vacuum is inside of me, what’s constantly resisting

Verse 2
Peering into darkness, I’m at the edge of listening
Vacuum is inside of me, what’s constantly resisting
Resisting and pulling me deeper in my fears
And those criticizing people just grind my gears

Why must I succumb to all of these fears?
Every time I try to fight it ends in tears
