Praying For Silence Lyrics

trying to read a poem

at 6:25 in the morning

after a bad night

of sweat-soaked nightmares

trying to gain

a measure of calm

from the words of another man

who calls himself a poet

i have never felt

more isolated

among the multitudes

in this human zoo

as i do right now

trying to read a poem

at 6:25 in the morning

after a bad night

of sweat-soaked nightmares

trying to gain

a measure of calm

from the words of another man

who calls himself a poet

i have never felt

more isolated

among the multitudes

in this human zoo

as i do right now

i can`t do it

because of the constant interruptions

the stamping of feet

the slamming of doors

the flushing of toilets there is never a moment of silence

trying to read a poem

at 6:25 in the morning

after a bad night

of sweat-soaked nightmares

trying to gain

a measure of calm

from the words of another man

who calls himself a poet

i have never felt

more isolated

among the multitudes

in this human zoo

as i do right now

trying to read a poem

at 6:25 in the morning

after a bad night

of sweat-soaked nightmares

trying to gain

a measure of calm

from the words of another man

who calls himself a poet

i have never felt

more isolated

among the multitudes

in this human zoo

as i do right now
