Can you hear me now? I lock the words behind my teeth, they want to break away, A thousand things I feel inside, but nothing I can say. The logic builds a heavy wall, it tells me "Hold it in", But every time I close my eyes, the battles just begin. I smile and nod, I play the part, I keep the surface chill, But deep beneath the quiet ice, I'm fighting on the hill. The feelings want to start a fire, the mind is making rain, I'm trapped inside this silent war, I'm hiding all the pain. The thoughts are spinning round and round, I try to keep them on the ground. The mind and heart will never blend, How does this silent story end? A storm is raging, raging, raging in my soul! But reason whispers: "Silence, take control!" My heart is screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming out! Shhh... can you hear me now? I swallow every single tear, I bury every sigh, I tell myself I shouldn't care, another perfect lie. The logic says it's dangerous to let the feelings show, Because the moment that you speak, you lose the things you know. But heavy is the quiet chest that holds a burning star, I'm standing right in front of you, but feeling very far. The war of what I want to do and what I think is right, Is keeping me awake again into the dead of night. The thoughts are spinning round and round, I try to keep them on the ground. The mind and heart will never blend, How does this silent story end? I want to break the heavy chains! Let out the fire in my veins! But reason tells me to retreat, And so I swallow the defeat! A storm is raging, raging, raging in my soul! But reason whispers: "Silence, take control!" My heart is screaming, screaming, screaming, screaming out! Shhh... can you hear me now?
