Vow of Silence

Rolling clouds reaching out
Laughter coloring all my doubts
These deep blues fade to gray
For just that moment we were the same

Now the fortune, the misery
My fortitude, my mystery
Crashes down without a chance
To even ask this hand to dance
I’m abandoned, I’m exposed
Few ailments not disclosed
Rooted deep in my gums
I scream

Did you find a nerve on the internet
In a smear campaign without intent
Mindlessly scrolling through your life
Donning every fucking strife
It’s clear you lack humility
Depraved by the mundanity
Do you really think that is godly?

Cause it’s paranoia that meets me here
In the tender moments when you disappear
The dissonance of existential thought
Not even Christ could bear this cross
Shaking from an anxious dream
Where a waterfall is taking me
Then I wake in your passenger seat

Roaring clouds creeping in
The emptiness, this silence
The happenstance of our convergence
This moment alone

I’m quiet in love
