Daniel McCann - Sitting In Silence

Sitting still in silence of all the lies.
This thing inside which was once so alive
is now sick and tired, watch as it dies!
The deciet many like me come to meet,
we tried! We fought in that battle with pride!
And can now see it can no longer hide
the deciet is found it can not survive!
So this that was once a room of laughter,
is a fighter along side an actor
sorry, actress, who deserves a bafter
remember how friends, family would gather?
We got out wine glasses that now shatter,
the colour of red stains the kitchen floor
its not wine, we don't drink wine anymore,
I wait, wait for them to come through the door.
Cold, but you can not say I never feel
because these scars you left will never heel!
I'm strong because a grown man never cries,
sitting, still in silence of all the lies.
