Silent Scriptures

     Burning scriptures into my brain

Making me much more insane

With every passing moment

The more my back gets bent

Hotter than hell I feel the burn

The hotter life gets the more I learn

I learn to grow as I go

Trying to make sense of what I don’t know

Still I try to help people understand

Just trust me and take my hand

Or don’t and fall alone

Take on the world all on your own

Stand fifty million to one

Quickly one becomes none

They will erase you and your name

Taking away your life just the same

Destroyed by your own madness

Covers loved ones with so much sadness

When is the time you choose?

Can you pick what you want to lose?

No, you want everything or nothing at all

Stumbling as you try to stand tall

Hiding away scared to see your own reflection

No more question you are afraid of rejection

I see now it’s so strange

How things in life never change

You don’t know what to do

The silence screams out to you

Do not fear, I’ll wait for you my friend

Do not worry, I’ll meet you in the end
