The Waste Land Lyrics

The Waste Land

This is where I hide my feelings,
Thoughts and ideas I cannot bring in with me to broad daylight


Words, the screams remaining hidden
Silenced secrets, all forbidden staying out of sight

Silence now

Fear for judgement more than death
All statements stay with ears of deaf
A landfill of what I swallowed, had to shut up about

CHORUS;
On the edge I stand
Of the waste land
Amongst the rocks and sand

(Refusal to speak, unable to breathe)

All the times that I've been hushed
The times that the opponents rushed to say:
"Keep silent, we don't wanna hear"

It is oh so quiet now
The echoes occupied my mind
The whispers never left or seem to disappear

Words, the screams remaining hidden
Silenced secrets, all forbidden
Swallowed, slowly crawling back in sight

CHORUS

(Refusal to speak, unable to breathe)
