TRAPPED IN THE SILENCE

I wake inside a world I cannot see

A thousand voices screaming over me

My hands are gone, my eyes are blind

But every memory still lives inside

The ceiling shakes, the shadows crawl

I hear the footsteps down the hall

I try to speak, I try to scream

But all that leaves me is a silent dream

Was this the price

For marching to war?

Was this the life

I was fighting for?

I’M TRAPPED INSIDE THIS EMPTY SKIN

NO WAY OUT, NO WAY IN

I’M STILL ALIVE, BUT I’M ALREADY DEAD

WITH A THOUSAND BULLETS

BURNING THROUGH MY HEAD

I remember fire across the night

The taste of blood, the blinding light

A brother falling next to me

His final breath still haunting me

They told me I was lucky to survive

But tell me, what does “living” mean?

When every morning feels the same

And every heartbeat screams my name

I beg for darkness

I beg for peace

But every night

The memories increase

I’M TRAPPED INSIDE THIS EMPTY SKIN

NO WAY OUT, NO WAY IN

I’M STILL ALIVE, BUT I’M ALREADY DEAD

WITH A THOUSAND BULLETS

BURNING THROUGH MY HEAD

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

I am here...

I am still here...

Don’t leave me in the silence...

Don’t leave me alone...

I WANT TO FEEL THE RAIN!

I WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT!

I WANT TO HEAR A VOICE

THAT TELLS ME I’M ALIVE!

CUT THESE CHAINS!

BREAK THESE WALLS!

LET ME OUT!

LET ME FALL!

I’M TRAPPED INSIDE THIS EMPTY SKIN!

NO WAY OUT!

NO WAY IN!

I’M STILL ALIVE!

BUT I’M ALREADY DEAD!

The guns are silent...

The war is gone...

But inside my head...

It still goes on...
