I used to be a melody, now I'm just a sigh...
for the tune was truly muted and the silence was turned up high....
as it's a song u cant sing, in a karaoke you'll never win...
so don’t surrender to its mesmerizing hum, or your heart will end up broken..
like a torn up army drum.
I opened my mouth in trial… in hope to utter a sound,
to an audience that is cynical, and a love that crushed me to ground.
It's time to quit the show business...time to leave the band …
time to finally admit, that on stage I failed to stand.
My heart just wont stop stomping, against life's icy stare...
its pounds as loud as thunder; my breath as thin as air.
My dreams then start rolling, in a shade of bloody red,
My songs all start colliding, with the echoes inside my head.
My body starts to quiver, as I step down from the stage
I clear my throat in tension, as my eyes cloud up with rage.
I hear whispers hissing in judgment, as I walk towards the door,
I curse the faith in the melody, my heart has grown to adore…
The melody that once pushed me, to love life in every form.
The melody that gave me serenity…and calmed me in every storm.
The melody that made me stronger and my fears it bravely shoved,
The melody of peace and safety, I found in the eyes of a beloved.
I step outside and wonder, if I'll ever hear its call,
The call of love and the music, of angels standing tall…
I close my eyes and wander; to the places its tune once took me
Running among the gardens and sailing in the sea…
I open my eyes again, to bid my melody a last farewell,
For my faith in its honesty, has blinded me with its spell.
I sigh and start walking… now with a bleeding scar
Behind me I hear its memory, fading as I grow far
Long gone is the prayer, to which my melody was once bound
I shall soon plan the funeral, of that melody with no sound.
