BREAKING SILENCE
|
(Janis Ian)
|
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
THOUGH I WEARY BE
|
COME INTO MY TENDERNESS
|
DREAM ALONG WITH ME
|
LISTEN TO THE WHISPERS SING
|
LISTEN TO THE SINGER SHOUT
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
ME AND MY BIG MOUTH
|
|
THOUGHTS UNSPOKEN, THOUGHTS UNSAID
|
LIES OF HEARTH AND HOME
|
CHILDREN BROKEN ON THE BED
|
AND LEFT TO LIE ALONE
|
THINGS YOU TALK AROUND
|
SCUM YOU CHOKE ON DOWN
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
STEP ON SACRED GROUND
|
|
WE WERE SPEAKING
|
OF VALUES AND VIOLENCE
|
BREAKING SILENCE
|
|
FATHERS WHO ARE LOVERS TO
|
THE DAUGHTERS THAT THEY OWN
|
MOTHERS WHO DON'T LEAVE A CHILD
|
A SINGLE SAFETY ZONE
|
PEOPLE SO UNHINGED
|
THAT DEATH IS MUCH TOO KIND
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
STEP OVER THAT LINE
|
|
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
|
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
|
THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY, ONLY ONE
|
|
WE WERE SPEAKING OF VALUES
|
AND VIOLENCE
|
BREAKING SILENCE
|
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
WELCOME TO THE WHEEL
|
COME INTO THIS WONDERLAND
|
OF WOUNDS THAT WILL NOT HEAL
|
WALLS THAT DO NOT SPEAK
|
STEPS THAT DO NOT SOUND
|
COME INTO MY SOLITUDE
|
BURN THIS BUILDING DOWN
|
