A pain I can't express
The tension straining before me
My heart is beating and reason is crying
I wish I could close my ears
I wish I could close my heart
Its hard to hear from another's lips
Truth that will be denied
Listen as hurtful words are delivered
Listen because I can't turn away
Listen, can't you hear them?
Quiet tears falling behind you
Silence fills the space between
But can't you hear it?
Hear the screaming in the silence
