Title : The Essence of Silence

Something is wrong

My strength has gone

Thoughts are corrupting my mind

I can see I perceive this ain't me

Something so strong

My mood has swung

I can't get it out of my head

I believe that my mind misleads me

Use your senses to observe

(The essence of silence)

Search for your essence

(The essence is)

Make a start

Your thoughts in every kind

(We confuse)

Is it a doubt you try to hide?

(Tangle and abuse)

Just have an open look inside

(We appear)

It's just a dreary memory stuck in your mind

Retrieve your balance

Use your senses to observe

(The essence of silence)

Allow the silence

To wipe your thoughts away

Retrieve your balance

Use your senses to observe

(The essence of silence)

Search for your essence

Find the silence within you

(The essence lies)
