Silence is your last best defense,
when all ears are shut;
and eyes clouded with numbing ignorance.
Shall we say goodbye to conscience?
Silence is pure exhaustion -
out of all pretenses.
No more strength for you to hide all the hurt.
No more energy for you to dance.
The same old spells can't keep you in a trance.
Has silence become a thick, suffocating wall?
Maybe.
Behind it you can crawl.
They don't have to see.
They don't even want to.
It's just your shadow and you.
Maybe it's good.
You've done all you could.
You will only break your silence
for those who turn up
without false pretenses.
Other than that,
it's the only they'll ever get!
