Can You Hear The Silence?

the ignorance is neck-high
and i'm drowning in apathy
i look up to the sky
but i can't see

can you pull me out
of this sea of misery
i'm weighted down with doubt
and i'm pleading for sympathy

can you hear the silence
please let me know
maybe i won't be an outcast
then i won't feel so alone

can you hear the silence
it's washing over me
i can't breath; i'm drowning
in a sea of apathy

the voices in my head
i can't get them to go away
my mind feels like it's dead
oh the things they say

they're eating at my ego
the voices are coming after me
i gave up long ago
i have no personality

can you hear the silence
please let me know
maybe i won't be an outcast
then i won't feel so alone

can you hear the silence
it's washing over me
i can't breath; i'm drowning
in a sea of apathy

i long to feel your gentle touch
to run my fingers through your hair
the memories hurt so much
but i just don't care

i feel as if i'm dying
i just wish you were here
to undo these knots i'm tying
and relieve me of this fear

can you hear the silence
please let me know
maybe i won't be an outcast
then i won't feel so alone

can you hear the silence
it's washing over me
i can't breath; i'm drowning
in a sea of apathy

this is a song that i wrote. it's mine. i wrote it. thank you.
