Silent Lullaby
I sit on a cliff ledge
And watch the rocks fall
Ever since the cage stopped rattling
You were there
Five long years I've seen your face
Two short years I've come to know
You pulled me back into town
You calmed the symphony of nonsense
And shrunk my demons down to size
Now all that's left is a silent lullaby
The aftermath of a violent outbreak
And I can breathe once more
They say to write about what scares you
Is it scary, the gore
My pen creates or is it just
Time
A finite spectrum we bow down to
As it defines the blackness of the night
Sometimes my brightest stars get swallowed whole
Victim to the silly game again
Now I've taken a dark turn, friend
So it's back to the ledge for me
You say you want to join in
And catch the hues, the red, the blue
But who really needs silence?
I've got you
Your love
And a spectacular view
