Warning in Silence

Silent shadows, whisper in the dark

Quiet moments, mark my spark

When I hold my tongue, you better watch your step

Don’t mistake my calm for a lack of depth

In the silence, I’m a ticking time

Worry about yourself, I’m just fine

But if I ever erupt, don’t stand too near

My quiet’s a warning, loud’s a sign of fear

Worry when I’m quiet, you don’t know what I hide

Worry when I’m loud, 'cause I’m not on your side

Balance in the shadows, danger’s always near

It’s not about anger, just my total fear

Between the whispers and the roar

There’s a storm you can’t ignore

Every silence, every scream

Is a part of my secret dream

So watch your step, stay aware

In my quiet, I’m unprepared

But I’m not angry, just alert

Worry less about me, and more about your dirt
