Guilt is the anchor weighing him down
It devours everything that he holds dear
Spirts in a bottle are a means to drown
Away decades of pain and constant fear
Withering flesh returning to dust and bone
Silence is louder when experienced alone
Willfully numb to the damage being done
He’s been playing loose with a loaded gun
Dark clouds are blistered by an angry sun
He’s wearing scars never shown to anyone
Love though sacred pierces like a thorn
What was once pure he’s forever disgraced
Vows pledged are broken words left torn
With meaning lost seems trust was erased
Withering flesh returning to dust and bone
Silence is louder when experienced alone
Willfully numb to the damage being done
He’s been playing loose with a loaded gun
Dark clouds are blistered by an angry sun
He’s wearing scars never shown to anyone

Nice one, Damian! These lyrics deserve piano music lilting in the background. I commend your efforts and patience to learn how to play such an instrument. There is something special about singer-songwriter music, a heartbeat and warmth that other stuff lacks. I look forward to your return, my friend, til then cheers to you!

hello dearest Damian these lyrics evoke so much emotion in me. Sometimes, we go through life and you feel alone maybe because some people cover their pain… this is open and honest and lends to your depth ❤️
“Silence is louder when experienced alone” – The past speaks loudly in the silence as the mind contemplates. I can image dissonance among the musical notes as they progress across the keys of the piano. Well thought out and written Damian.
