When you are silenced and shunned...
If every word I speak, is silenced by yours
And my every dream is extinguished like a weak flame
Of a candle ensconsed in damp
Will you fight back the demons inside me too
Rearing to claw out and pin the thoughts down
Would you please clip my wings before I know I can fly?
If you are going to pull me down by my ankles,
The moment I rise,
Wont you just chain me before I know I can stand?
When I fall in love, and you take it all away
Without waiting for an explanation
Wont you shatter my heart before I know its whole?
When I stand on the cliff of life
Seperated from the end with a thin line of question
Won't you kill me before I know I ever lived?
