When pain threatens to grip you tight..

cold embraces you throughout the night..

where have all the warmth gone to?

just shut my eyes and let it pass..

constant bickering throughout the week..

high pitch voices just makes me sick..

take me away from confrontation..

and shut my mouth and let it pass..

count to three I've said my peace..

my corralled emotions i finally release..

spare me the whines and the rolling tears

and shut my ears and let it pass...

turning into a wallflower is what i yearn

and maybe from this silence i will learn

that there is much more than just worldly needs

that it shuts my thoughts and let it pass...

though this be madness, yet there is method in it..

somethings are better off left unsaid..

for now let me be who i want to be..

i shut the pain and let it pass..

theres more to me than just this invisibility..

takes more than eyes just to see..

take a step back and recall your thoughts..

shut off the world for a minute and just let me in..
