Sometimes there are no words
when the air is thin and the eyes are dry
when the heart can't sing the song along
no melody in emptiness gone by

Sometimes there are no words
when the darkness holds pain so great
that silence is unbearable
you cannot run anymore from fate

Sometimes there are no words
no feelings or emotions to play
when you think "there's got to be something
this can't be all I am today"

Sometimes there are no words
when you purposely rip out the pages
clearing the pallet of the mind
so the heart can go through stages
where the pain is accepted
and the numb is let go
and living becomes easier
then you come to know
that sometimes there are no words
when the air is thin and the eyes are dry
sit back, breathe, and conclude
that you don't need a reason why.

Sometimes there are no words.
