Lex Zaleta - Silence Surrounds Me lyrics

Silence surrounds me, Violence hounds me, My fear astounds me, Finds me standing here, Stranded behind this Blind, black line veneer. I lack any clear Reminders, givers Of solace and cheer. I'm at a loss here; The crossroads appear; I'm handed a fine Souvenir, sliver Of a mirror. In The band of silver, I see into sheer Tomorrow and the Sorrow it brings near. It will soon borrow What has landed here, Spanning the low years, Planning the slow tears That truly must fall When unruly trust Calls out, "Man to man!" Hot or cool he stalls, Once grounded, he rusts, Gives one groan of lust, Then moans, "Dust to dust." Alone, I clutch ten Dried pieces of crust. The cruel and unjust Silence surrounds me. Silence surrounds me, Violence hounds me, All those around me Have cleared out of here, Deserted a friend, Perverted the end To convert and bend; To smear and offend; To cause fear to blend With anger and hate; Linger at the gate; Wait and hesitate; Semi-conscious state. The finger of fate Points out my worst faults, Double-jointed vaults, Cursed somersaults. The singer a**aults My nostrils and eyes. A sweet stolen kiss Echoes the abyss Swollen with the missed Opportunities, Lost chances untold, Romantic glances Unreturned, love spurned; And, to my surprise, Every sound dies. I'm left with my lies Where reverie cries. Violence hounds me, Silence surrounds me. Silence surrounds me.
