First, they charm you, promise you a rose garden, a castle in the sky. You stumble, you fall. The breakdown begins: gaslighting, fear-mongering, isolation, abuse. And the beating. You know you should run. But you're alone, afraid dependent, and torn. Not everyone gets away. But this one did.

Lyrics;

FEEL THE QUIET
Casting a glance at an old photograph
you see a young child smiling to the world.
Though many years have passed you can say
“that smiling child was me, it's true”.

Years of suffering force you to sit down
and everything has passed by.

The dreams you had.
The life you wished.
Indeed you never could realize
the passing days,
the passing years.
Do you think they have just passed in vain?

Out of the window the sky seems so blue.
You're looking the path carrying to another
world.
Lay out your hand as you're catching the sun.
In the warmth of the morning you close your
eyes.

“Oh. Please be quiet, and let me now just hear the wind”.

The dreams you had.
The life you wished.
Indeed you never could realize
the passing days,
the passing years.
Do you think they have just passed in vain?

You feel inside.
You feel the quiet.
You need to see the light.
You feel inside.
You hear the quiet.
You need to see the light, now.

Carry on your life
feeling quiet.
