I am a silent understanding.
I wonder why the night swallows us completely.
I hear the trees whisper our pasts.
I want us to feel as we belong.
I am a silent understanding.

I pretend I am all the betray.
I feel a faint heart barely beating.
I touch my anger to soothe it.
I worry that in the end I am none.
I cry to give water to the ones that beg.
I am a silent understanding.

I understand few think as us.
I say a life here is worth living.
I dream of those we lost.
I try to stitch lies shut.
I hope someday you'll understand,
I am a silent understanding.
