I covet the silence
Lost in my mind
Each day when they rise
And begin the rampage

The clashing
And piercing
And smashing
The booms
It irks me
And aches me
With rage
I'm consumed

I'm a stickler for grace
And they're like a stampede
And I'm hiding away
Because this, I don't need

The sun dips between
The shadows of clouds
And in darkness I'm shrouded
When light is so loud

He ninnies
She lingers
But I'm out of breath
My silence a marked
Reason I am bereft

Slam the door to the wall
Make the house shake and fall
There's no reason at all
But you feel powerful
Quickly, coarsely
Not thinking at all
Going through the motions
Your energy tall

You disturb me
Unearth me
I can't get a break
So don't ask why I'm angry
I can't concentrate
