Gag Order - SHADOWSIDE

Once more I open up the door

A group of people stare

I try to ignore

Overcome by fear

I wear the mask and try to be

Assured, witty and sweet

I choke on my thoughts

All my lines are blocked

A simple answer would suffice

(I hear them whispering)

My mind is rushing, I’m in silence

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again

I look up to the pitch-black sky

Sounds of rain loud outside

Alone I give out

I let myself down

I sing to quieten this shriek

of nostalgy in me

Wary in my words

All thinking is blurred

I can’t express what’s in my mind

(Why did I say nothing???)

No one knows what I hide inside

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again

The storm calls me back home

Nothing to feign

I won’t personify again
