Numbing Silence

Stab me with your silence
Just to watch me bleed
As your blade twists
Little by little

Watch me wilt
As my colour drains
Rotting on the pavement
In pale sheets of numbness

Karma

Read me
Like an open book
But you won't understand
A single word
My language's foreign

Suffocate me
With your silence
It's all right
I won't hurt
My body's numb and broken

Crush me
Like fine sand
I've been dead
For the longest time
My soul's been trodden

Condemn me
To hell's fire
Let flames engulf
this once solid union
A crumbling foundation

Torture me
With your ignorance
And foolishness
Before you realise
It's a mirror reflection

Smiling faces in masquerades
All behind the same façade
Nothing garish, nothing plain
Oscar actors all at large

Civil words, they carefully weave
Smooth and flawless, none too crude
Poison laced, bitter traced
None of them are just too good

The mask they wear may hide their face
But it conceals not their eyes
The vile bitter state in them
Fools me not with all those lies
