Secluded in Silence

Out by the shore, where silence reigns deep

Lost in the haze, where secrets creep

A place secluded, away from the noise

Just smoke in the air, and a voice that employs

By the beach, away from the societal gaze

Craving escape, got no time for the latest craze

Load the barrel, take a hit, let the moment unfold

Floating in the sea, stories never told

Corruption’s mask, celebrities on the grind

Demons and debts, they're the ties that bind

Searching for meaning, in a world so cold

Swim in the rain, stories left untold

Hide away where the world's unjust

Follow the fog, drown in the rust

Broken dreams in the city’s mold

Seeking truth, but losing control

Guns and smoke, tears and pain

Soothe the soul, drown the rain

Society’s shadow, hidden and bold

In our refuge, stories unfold

Back to the city, the darkness still calls

Molds of deception, behind the walls

Ruin and decay, a bitter abode

In this nest of gloat, we carry the load
