They have mouths, but cannot speak.
Having ears, they hear nothing but fear.
Their words –hollow like their souls-
Are the shovels to dig their hearts a new hole.
And in my waking moments,
I see my hands shaking too.
I am afraid,
But not to die
I am afraid,
To only think I’ve lived.
Am I living a life worth living?
Am I breathing, just to stop again?
Or spitting in the face of the loving?
Quiet my mouth if my words aren’t breaking your walls down.
Be still if fear is holding you down.
(Be still), be still and speak your dreams.
Be still
Just live in love.
I am afraid,
But not to die.
I am afraid,
To only think I’ve lived.
Am I living a life worth living?
Am I breathing, just to stop again?
Or spitting in the face of the loving?
Quiet my mouth if my words aren’t breaking your walls down.
