ALVEOLUS

Shut up and get out of my way
There's nothing more I wish to say
No more lectures, no more questions
What you've done, I don't mention....

My silence should be a sign
That right now is not the time
I don't need to hear opinions
Too much shit in this dominion
Worry is my big obsession
I'm allowed my depression
Let me think and discover
Let me hide and recover

Don't drag me out of my numb state
Let it go; let it abate
I try to speak and clarify
Words won't come, I'm terrified

My silence should be a sign
That right now is not the time
I don't need to hear opinions
Too much shit in this dominion
Worry is my big obssesion
I'm allowed my depression
Let me think and discover
Let me hide and recover

Safely tucked away in here
Trying to stifle all my fear
I wish that I could speak
Right now I'm just too weak
Let me stay for a while
Slowly start to reconcile

My silence should be a sign
That right now is not the time
I don't need more on my mind
I can't think, I'm confined
Let me think and discover
Let me hide and recover

Let me breathe for a moment.....
