Janis Ian - Breaking Silence lyrics

Breaking Silence Come into my solitude Though I weary be Come into my tenderness Dream along with me Listen to the whispers sing Listen to the singers shout Come into my solitude Me and my big mouth Thoughts unspoken thoughts unsaid Lies of hearth and home Children broken on the bed and left to lie alone Things you talk around Scum you choke on down Come into my solitude Step on sacred ground We were speaking Of values and violence Breaking silence Fathers who are lovers to the daughters that they own Mothers who don't leave a child in a single safety zone People so unhinged, that d**h is much too kind Come into my solitude, step over that line Thought i was the only one Thought i was the only one Thought i was the only Thought i was the only Only one Breaking silence Come into my solitude Welcome to the wheel Come into this wonderland Of wounds that will not heal Walls that do not speak Steps that do not sound Come into my solitude Burn this building down
