I want to scream sometimes, louder than pa**ing traffic Yet only I can hear, my silent noise Everyday consumes me, each step I'm falling in Imprisoned in my own choice The phone's ringing every minute PRE-CHORUS: So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute To find a silent breath I can call my own So I try to give time one more quiet second To find a silent breath I can call my own CHORUS: And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of it I make love to it, but I hate it And I want to, but I'm scared of running away To make love or to hate is all in my own hands I suppose you always feel safe when you feel control Yet under all I know, I'm never really in control Time's my most intimate love, peace is the sister I dont have Silent is pure sanctity, how I crave for you PRE-CHORUS: So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute To find a silent breath I can call my own So I try to give time one more quiet second To find a silent breath I can call my own CHORUS: And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of it I make love to it, but I hate it And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of you And I make love to you, but I hate you And I want to, but I'm scared of running away To make love or to hate is all in my own hands OUTRO: Yet the unknown breeds fear, my mother's breast seems miles away You can be happy, you can be happy You can be happy to play the game until your deck runs out
