Silence Is Killing Me

It’s late at night,
I can’t sleep.

The house is quiet as can be.
The only sounds I hear is the clicking of the keys
And the tick tocks of the clock.

The silence is killing me,
I don’t know what to do with it all,
Think?

Any new noise seems like its been played through an amp.
It’s too loud.

I try to close my eyes but all I can imagine is the thing keeping me awake.
Just go away, I want to yell.
But does it? Of course not.

There used to be a routine,
But it’s falling apart.
Something’s happened to make it falter.
It seemed so perfect before but now,
It’s all new.

Thinking is making it worse.
It’s causing the pain level to rise.
Higher, higher, higher

Will I break soon?

The natural alarm in my body is going off,
But I can’t turn it off.

Higher, higher, higher.
Louder, louder, louder.

Tears fall and fall and fall.
My sleeve is now soaked, like my pillow

Higher, higher, higher.
Louder, louder, louder.
Fall, fall, fall

My heart can’t contain all these emotions.
It’s spilling over, leaking.

Higher, higher, higher
Louder, louder, louder,
Fall, fall, fall,
Leak, leak, leak

It’s breaking, I’m breaking.

Higher, higher, higher,
Louder, louder, louder,
Leak, leak, leak,
Break, break, break.
