Janis Ian - Breaking Silence lyrics
[Janis Ian - Breaking Silence lyrics]
Come into my solitude though I weary be
Come into my tenderness dream along with me
Listen to the whispers sing
Listen to the singer shout
Come into my solitude me and my big mouth
Thoughts unspoken, thoughts unsaid
Lies of hearth and home
Children broken on the bed
And left to lie alone things you talk around
Scum you choke on down come into my solitude
Step on sacred ground
We were speaking of values and violence
Breaking silence
Fathers who are lovers to
The daughters that they own
Mothers who don't leave a child
A single safety zone people so unhinged
That death is much too kind
Come into my solitude step over that line
Thought I was the only one
Thought I was the only one
Thought I was the only
Thought I was the only, only one
We were speaking of values and violence
Breaking silence
Come into my solitude welcome to the wheel
Come into this wonderland
Of wounds that will not heal
Walls that do not speak
Steps that do not sound
Come into my solitude
Burn this building down
Come into my tenderness dream along with me
Listen to the whispers sing
Listen to the singer shout
Come into my solitude me and my big mouth
Thoughts unspoken, thoughts unsaid
Lies of hearth and home
Children broken on the bed
And left to lie alone things you talk around
Scum you choke on down come into my solitude
Step on sacred ground
We were speaking of values and violence
Breaking silence
Fathers who are lovers to
The daughters that they own
Mothers who don't leave a child
A single safety zone people so unhinged
That death is much too kind
Come into my solitude step over that line
Thought I was the only one
Thought I was the only one
Thought I was the only
Thought I was the only, only one
We were speaking of values and violence
Breaking silence
Come into my solitude welcome to the wheel
Come into this wonderland
Of wounds that will not heal
Walls that do not speak
Steps that do not sound
Come into my solitude
Burn this building down
