Quietly Screaming Nothing

Quietly Screaming Nothing

Step back from the crowd
or was it the ledge
either way i see where i drowned 
and i won't go back in

let go of the hurt
and unlock your fist
look to your palm for the message
that's almost faded away

recite the lines
till they're not just words
so stand your ground and read them aloud
then hear you say

you're so alive
falling without a net
and it sounds so free

so play the show
and live for the day
it's worth it to see
ocean size smiles
closed eyes faces
with lips breathing life
to the words that you wrote 
and you wrote it for them anyway

with a sky full of stars
to be up where you are
take and outreached hand and give it a chance
to be where you are...

Reason for writing:

    I'm one of the writers for my band The Element.  This one's about the dream to make it that all musicians have.
