litsening to the silence of the lonely streets

All night I told myself that I should get some sleep,
But all that my eyes could do the whole night was weep…
At first I thought I may be going crazy…
But that was only until all around me went hazy…

The walls of the room seemed to be darker tonight,
The room seemed to have grown smaller…
The ceiling would definitely come down on me today,
As my loneliness seemed to have grown taller…

I wanted to leave these four walls behind me,
And step out into the crowded streets,
But lord knows…was it my luck, or god’s wish…
There wasn’t a soul on the streets to greet…

The voices in my head, now hammering inside me,
Even the thoughts in my mind betrayed me…
I wanted a speeding car to run me down and do justice…
But I couldn’t even walk in the middle of the road, my cowardice!

I thought I saw her, at the crossing of the mall,
I thought she noticed me, but she didn’t look at me at all…
Was she really there, or did I just hallucinate?
I kept walking in sync to the silence of the lonely streets of my fate…

I kept strolling down the path and suddenly realised.
I was surrounded by so many of those…
Did they just appear from nowhere?
Or were they around from befoe?
Were they actually there, or did I just hallucinate?
I still kept walking in sync to the silence of the lonely streets of my fate…

The streets suddenly seemed crowded, but I still felt alone,
I should be hearing their voices around me, then how come I don’t?
All I hear, is the voices n my head,
All the thoughts, that for many years no one read…
Were they really my thoughts or did I just hallucinate?
I still kept walking in sync to the silence of the lonely streets of my fate…

I turned again at the end of the road,
The alley was very dark and dim,
But that didn’t seem to bother me at all,
Because the silence wasn’t my call…

All I wanted was the silence to take over me,
And to take me to the darker side…
Suddenly my puffy eyes were blinded by a flash,
First I flew a few feet up, then plummetted with a crash…
Sounds of glass cracking, screeches and screams for some time,
Then it was me lying in a red puddle of grime…
Slowly then the pain left me all alone…
So did my thoughts ans the voices of that tone…
Without these companions, I felt incompetent and incomplete..
But I felt blessed to at last hear the silence of these lonely streets…
