In The Quiet Of The World
The world can scream to my ears
That I have the wrong kind of skin
That I have the wrong kind of love
That I am never enough
But there is madness within me
That long to be set free
No more casket for my worries,
Hiding a heart on a sleeve
I will plunge underwater
Where noises are muffled
And in the quiet of the world
I shall find my voice
