Sitting In Silence, Dying Out Loud

                                                                     I can see myself, every time I look to others for a glimpse of hope.

Everybody trying to get by, everybody looking for a means to cope.

So much is going on around me, all this drama bringing me down.

The world is an empty crowd, and everybody’s shouting out loud,

Can you hear them?

Oooo, Oooo, sitting in silence as I die out loud,

Oooo, Oooo, I said I would be strong,

But the tears just keep on falling

Rolling down, rolling down

Rolling down, rolling down

Rolling down, rolling down (2x)

So many possibilities, impossible to meet them all.

Nobody wants to see me succeed, praying for my downfall.

So I ask, who’s going to teach my children, who’s going to tuck them in?

I hate being away from my babies, but I can’t wait to see them again,

Can you hear them crying?

Oooo, Oooo, sitting in silence as I die out loud,

Oooo, Oooo, I said I would be strong,

But the tears just keep on falling

Rolling down, rolling down

Rolling down, rolling down

Rolling down, rolling down (2x)

Never have I been so uneasy, helpless in every way.

So I give Lo everything that I can give her, if daddy ain’t around one day.

Why are we born to die, why do we compete to lose?

Why is it all, such an uphill battle, why do we even have to choose?

Can you imagine the frustration I feel, when I can’t make a wrong thing right?

The woman I love is a whole world away, and my heart keeps me awake all night.

Can you hear me calling?
