Not a word, not a sound
Heart is only beating with a single pound
Drowning, I'm floating away
Like the waves are pulling me in from the bay
Sadness, it's the sound of my heart breaking
The look of something or someone faking
It is the smell of a dead and terrorised flower
It is the feeling in someone with no more power
No power to move on
No power to stay strong
No time to say goodbye
And no time to be alright
This is the sadness people feel inside
The people who have rules to abide
This is the feeling of your humanity crumbling
The picture of child who's always stumbling
