SILENCE GROWS

If my walls could talk.... oh, what stories they would tell.
I've sung the praises of so many men,
They've said "Marry me..."
Each ten years gone,
A whole child's life with every one.

(chorus)	The sunlight bounces off the walls
  		My story never will be told
		Silence lives...  SILENCE GROWS

Outside my walls they envy me,
The mask I wear, it hides the face that's really me.
Easy come, easy go,
They've touched my body but not my soul....

(chorus)

(bridge)	Footsteps haunt the halls
		The room is shaking from the sound of my words
		Hang as silence lives...  SILENCE GROWS

The phone, it hasn't rung all day.
And I'm so tired and going to bed, only to stay awake...
And read about the day gone by
The walls hold me inside...

(chorus)
