Song Description

Silence of the Soul recounts the tale of a creative spirit that longs to express itself but is unable to do so. The spirit's plea to be set free serves as the basis for Cheryl Alexander's CD Title "Let Me Out." This track outlines the feeling of pain and remorse that results from not being who you really are, of experiencing a Silence of the Soul.

Lyrics

Silence of the Soul

I feel the pain
I feel insane
I feel these nagging thoughts
Running 'round inside my brain

I feel the rope
I feel it choke
I feel the cutting rope
Tighten 'round my neck so close

I feel the fear
It feels so real
I feel the fear so real
And I feel it drawing near

I feel it grow
I feel so low
I feel so stony cold
And all the time I know

That it's the
Silence of the soul
Silence, Silence
Silence of the Soul

I feel the shame
I feel the blame
I feel the thoughts of guilt
Gnawing at my inner brain

I feel the rage
I feel enraged
I feel the cold iron bars
Of this imprisoning cage

I feel the guilt
I feel it build
I feel the guilt build
And I feel contentment wilt

I feel it grow
I feel so low
I feel so stony cold
And all the time I know

That it's the
Silence of the soul

Silence of the soul
Silence, Silence
Silence of the Soul

Silence, Silence
Silence of the Soul
