Burden Of A Day

You placed the sound of silence in my ears when i'm calm
like sleeping underwater with dreams of you swirling around
i'm engulfed
don't let this fade away
never let this go
the storm above us is pounding
ships are cracking at the hull
under all this it's tranquil
wrapped up in you
breathe into me the breath life so i will never die again
breathe into me the breath life so i will never die again
and i will rise to the surface
trying to swim against the beating waves
i slip and fall
the water pounding in my lungs
the fear of failing pulls me
it marks my demise
like salt in open wounds
light burns my sun baked eyes
the sound of silence in my head
(solace is found in silent conversation)
you speak without using your words
(solace is found in silent conversation)
[talking in the background:]
thoughts are carried up on angels' wings
words speak volumes when they are unspoken
my head is mute
but my heart still sings
you bought me you brought me out
[x4]
thoughts are carried up on angels' wings
take me away
solace is found in this
silence
breathe into me, my father
breathe into me, my friend
[x2]
take some time to listen to me
please hear me out
i can't let you go that way
take some time to listen to me
please hear me out
i can't let you go that way
(look into his eyes and tell him he's not wanted
look into his eyes and tell him he is not your friend)
