Vocal Cords

Hidden faces and sorrows
We suppress the truth behind reality
Shelter our hearts behind songs
That we scream along with in the middle of the night
When no one is awake to hear
Lock the doors and turn up the volume
Check to see if anyone is watching
Still no one stirs
Smile when they do
Little do they know why

Find one place of comfort
While the winds stir the world
Into chaos
Tears come streaming down
As if to say "nothing's perfect'
Teeth chattering and shivering bodies
Bundled up in what they wish to be
A lover's arms

Tie down the emotions for they may fly away
As you scream tortured senses into the brisk night air
Silence anything other than
The cold breaths you take while you sing
The music that keeps your heart beating
Pain and sorrow disappear for an instant
Pretend that the ones around us
Try and find comfort in the songs we chant
