We live in a world where silence is our safety key as i lie down i hear hammering, doors banging n key locks shaking, as i lie down tears fall down through my ears and in fear i tremble
As i wait for police in silence
I hear doors banging,key locks shaking,...
My soul keeps singing a small prayer "oh lord help us out,"
As i pray i keep mumbling because i hear footsteps n chains being dragged And in fear i tremble
I'm trying not to make any sounds but I fail to silence my heartbeat
It beats so loud and fast that i feel like my chest is tearing up
"Oh lord please help us out"
My soul sings
Teardrops in my pillow rapped around in blankets And in fear i tremble
I keep drowning in tears so much that by the time they make it to the door I'll be floating.
