Sworn To Silence

There's a weight on my shoulders enemies of my past
Plastic smiles to get me by moving from mask to mask
Every time I turn around the demon's at the door
Damned if I do, Damned if I don't
Cut by a double edged sword
Half truths and little white lies
A slip of the tongue at just the wrong time could lead to my demise

CHORUS
Cuz I'm Sworn to Silence there's nothing I can do
Bound by every word, a captive on this ship of fools
Yes I'm Sworn to Silence
Afraid they'll see through my disguise
I've closed my eyes

The secrets frozen cold it chills me to the bone
Until this storm is over emotions turned to stone
I've been running from my shadows they spill into my dreams
Each day my reality is like a silent scream
Half truths and little white lies
A slip of the tongue at just the wrong time could lead to my demise

CHORUS:

For one who's not a player or an Actor on a stage
This is my best performance inside this empty cage
