I want to scream sometimes, louder than passing traffic 
Yet only I can hear, my silent noise 
Everyday consumes me, each step I'm falling in 
Imprisoned in my own choice 
The phone's ringing every minute 

So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute 
To find a silent breath I can call my own 
So I try to give time one more quiet second 
To find a silent breath I can call my own 

And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of it 
I make love to it, but I hate it 
And I want to, but I'm scared of running away 
To make love or to hate is all in my own hands 
I suppose you always feel safe when you feel control 
Yet under all I know, I'm never really in control 
Time's my most intimate love, peace is the sister I don't have 
Silent is pure sanctity, how I crave for you 

So I try to take time, just to breathe for a minute 
To find a silent breath I can call my own 
So I try to give time one more quiet second 
To find a silent breath I can call my own 

And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of it 
I make love to it, but I hate it 
And I know I choose to be, yet I feel I'm a captive of you 
And I make love to you, but I hate you 
And I want to, but I'm scared of running away 
To make love or to hate is all in my own hands 

Yet the unknown breeds fear, my mother's breast seems miles away 
You can be happy, you can be happy 
You can be happy to play the game until your deck runs out
