Silent Voices

[Verse 1] In the quiet streets where no shadows fall, Autistic hands feel the jagged wall. Eyes seek color in a world turned grey, Silent voices, words too far away. [Verse 2] Stigma wraps them in an iron chain, Faces marked with undeserved pain. Mental storms in an endless night, Seeking refuge in the dimmest light. [Chorus] Can you hear them, whispers in the wind? Broken hearts that never quite begin. Bound by senses, tied to heavy stones, Autistic souls fighting all alone. [Verse 3] A crowded room’s a battlefield unseen, Fluorescent lights, a cruel, harsh sheen. Beneath the noise, they hide and retreat, Dreams of silence in the heartbeat’s beat. [Verse 4] In a land of echo, where truths are veiled, Self-advocates with their cries impaled. Small voices shout beneath the heavy rains, Seeking justice through the piercing chains. [Chorus] Can you hear them, whispers in the wind? Broken hearts that never quite begin. Bound by senses, tied to heavy stones, Autistic souls fighting all alone.
