Avalanches

I don't dare to scream
I'm afraid of avalanches
Afraid to be dragged down
Afraid of the consequences

I don't dare to walk
They said it could be thunder
And rain and hail and lightning
For a little boy that's frightening

So many words exploding in my chest
Captured, tortured and in arrest
Had to bury them
Burning on my tongue like a bitter pill
I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill

Silence silence silence
Silence silence silence

I don't dare to swim
The sea is full of maelstroms
Afraid to drown
Can't breathe under water
I don't even dare to speak
Or raise my head up
They have guillotines
To produce silence again

So many words exploding in my chest
Captured tortured and in arrest
Had to bury past
Bruning on my tongue like a bitter pill
I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill

Silence silence silence
Silence silence silence silence silence

So many words exploding in my chest
Captured, tortured and in arrest
Had to bury them
Burning on my tongue like a bitter pill
I'm not getting better, I'm getting ill
