Without a Sound

From nightmares they can’t awaken
Their voices have been forsaken
All hope lost to never be found
Trapped souls screaming without a sound

Upon the agony they choke
Lamenting words they never spoke
With ropes of silence they are bound
Trapped souls screaming without a sound

By grief and sorrow entombed alive
Scratching and clawing to survive
Clenched fists in buried coffins pound
Trapped souls screaming without a sound

From nightmares they can’t awaken
Trapped souls screaming without a sound

I would like to disappear,
Run away and not be found,
Seeking a life more profound,
Something noble to revere.

I need to get away from here,
To get my boots upon the ground.
I would like to disappear,
Run away and not be found.

Travel this cryptic sphere,
Chasing sunsets westbound,
Pursuing something more profound.
To unearth a new frontier,
I would like to disappear.
