Up at the sky, asking why you should try
When your body aches
To surrender
Everyone needs someone helping them reach
For whatever their heaven is
Someone to teach them and promise things
Will get better
And I'm sorry I'm not quite explaining it right
But this noise becomes anger, and the anger is light
And this burning inside me would usually fade
But it isn't today
And the heat, and the shouting
And my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning
And suddenly, everything, everything is
Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that still sort of quiet
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book
Or a pause in a walk in the woods
Quiet
Like silence, but not really silent
Just that nice kind of quiet
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed
Just the sound of your heart in your head
