Silence screams the ugly truth,
Hostility's what I presume.
I knew, too obtruse.
A thousand words said in a stare,
Just pretend like I don't care.
I knew, you did too.
She said just wait for me tomorrow.
Drop my shield and slide on through.
Rain dancing in my head 'till morning,
and I knew that you'd come to cut me loose.
Closing up, projecting fears.
I'm cracking more throughout the years.
Too soon, I'm coming loose.
Jolts of shock race through my skin,
Body warmth in the evening.
I knew, too good to lose.
Rain dancing in my head.
A storm is raging, but your shelter's safe.
If you only knew.
They say actions amplify your scriptures text.
Navigate me through all of this mess.
Without the anchor I am lost at sea.
If you only knew.
She said just make it through tomorrow.
Drop my shield and slide on through.
Rain dancing in my head 'till morning,
And I knew that you'll come to cut me loose.
