a tug at the end of the line -
there's something here,
she squeaks,
as her skin turns
sea-foam green.
silence drowns her,
"do it afraid",
whispers the sea.

Somewhere in the sands of time,
I hear the sound of a faithful cry..
from a bird with broken wings
who sings "my hope will never die!"..
His chances are less than average.
He's a candle in a hurricane.
Still he bows beaneath the storm
and he sings louder amidst the rain.
He knows what he'd become
if it were not for his broken wings..
He'd probably make a nest of thorns
and fill it up with shining things.
He might say "I'll sing tomorrow" -
But tomorrow might never come..
And the only awful song would be
a song that he never sung.
And what would he become
when his soul no longer sings?
So, he sings his songs of gratitude
all the more with his broken wings..

Saying the same words
Louder
Won't make me listen

The wind howls louder
than a wolf to the moon.
But don't worry.
Spring is coming soon
and will stay until June.

Maybe that’s the
Point of all these
Stars as they fall
Louder than me
Even in death
Together they bleed
We all die the same
But they’re better than me.

Please calm my racing heart.
Subside the blood rushing to my cheeks.

Silence the butterflies,
whose wings flap so violently in my stomach.

Holding my voice hostage,
I'd like to take it back

„Actions speak louder than words“

Words are your action
Which speak louder than any action
But not every action is silent
And not every word is loud
Which words will whisper
And what actions will scream
is for you to decide

PLAY THE MUSIC LOUDER

     BLOCK OUT THIS EVIL WORLD

ALL I WANT TO HEAR IS THE SWEET SOUND OF THIS IS GOSPEL

     PLEASE TURN IT UP

PLEASE END MY SUFFERING

     LOUDER PLEASE

LOUDER

You always said,
Actions speak louder than words,
But words do mean something.

Words are the language of my heart,
Words can build me up,
Or tear me apart.
Yours in particular.

Actions speak louder than words,
But without words,
There would be no speaking at all.

~Robert van Lingen
Words do, mean something.
