if i could just have some quiet
i'm sure i wouldn't find waking up
unbearable

if i could just have some quiet
i'm sure of it, the voices would be
friendly

if i could just have some quiet
my thoughts
would not be my afflictions

if i could just have some quiet
i know my mind would go forward and
not behind my or below my feet for
me to step upon

if i could just have some quiet
i'm sure my music would
serve less as a bandage and
more as a symphony to my
madness

if i could just have some quiet
i could talk to them

if i could just have some quiet
i could float like the
clouds that reach down to my ears
instead of tumbling down
my cheek pressed against the ground
watching my sanity spill
like the blood out of my nose...

if i could just have some quiet,
i'm sure of it,
i could be loved.
