Screaming Silence Lyrics

Built a home where he was taken

Started over where they told him to go

Had a family, and they loved him

Felt unwanted you'd never know

But I hear your whispers

And silence screaming loud

I'm falling

And I'm hoping

That I'll land on my feet somehow

And it's torture

But in order to see you again

I gotta pretend I'm alright

Wanted to stay out of trouble

Hid his feelings behind bottles of wine

Tried to walk, only to stumble

Further and further in decline

And with every breath, it was more impossible

To think of a reason for the next

I'm falling

And I'm hoping

That I'll land on my feet somehow

And it's torture

But in order to see you again

I gotta pretend I'm alright

A bandage on wounds

I've gathered all of my life

But to see you again

I gotta pretend I am fine

Told him I was never leaving

Then he whispered to me

I'm falling

And I'm hoping

That I'll land on my feet somehow

I know that someday

Pain will fade away

And you'll be right here

A listening ear for my cry

Won't have to pretend

I've got my friend for life
