Silence is everywhere
There’s nothing left to drink
My baby stopped breathing
Lying by the wall
The clock stops ticking
Tears freeze on my cheek

Broken glass covers my floor
Drops of blood run free
Time drags slowly to halt

And the boredom pains
Create death by dumbness
So now I can never speak
In my despair I weep
I wave goodnight
Have fun, sleep tight
