lyrics

Verse 1
Can you hear the sound of the silence
Can you hear the rising of lies
Can you feel the tension of violence
As it rises, as it rises
Can you hear the screaming of sirens
Can you see the tears in the eyes
Can you see the beauty in an iris
If it’s lifeless, if it’s life’s been
Broken like a vase that is dropped and shattering
Hoping for a taste of the water as it’s scattering
Trampled on the concrete floor like an animal
Feeling stone cold but her heart is an emerald
Behold this child who is one of a kind
A rose among thorns, but not in her mind
Because her life’s been stripped, and taken away
And now she’s left alone on this journey to decay

Chorus:
Now I lay me/Down in the shadow of the grave Lay down where you belong little girl
Can you hear me screaming at the top of my lungs?
I feel like my whole world has come undone Come undone

Verse 2:
 I can see the terror in your eyes
I can hear the fear in your voice I will turn your screaming into silence
Be still you have no choice
 I am scared I am oh so fearful
 I don’t know what is going on 
You have robbed my hope, my soul
Roxanne is gone away
From this place
I can’t run, so I hide my face
Roxanne, I am gone away
I am lost in the darkness of the pain

Chorus
