Janis, Ian - Breaking Silence lyrics

Come into my solitude

though I weary be

Come into my tenderness

Dream along with me

Listen to the whispers sing

Listen to the singer shout

Come into my solitude

Me and my big mouth

Thoughts unspoken, thoughts unsaid

Lies of hearth and home

Children broken on the bed

and left to lie alone

Things you talk around

Scum you choke on down

Come into my solitude

Step on sacred ground

We were speaking

of values and violence

Breaking silence

Fathers who are lovers to

the daughters that they own

Mothers who don't leave a child

a single safety zone

People so unhinged

that death is much too kind

Come into my solitude

Step over that line

...Thought I was the only one

...Thought I was the only one

...Thought I was the only, only one

We were speaking

of values and violence

Breaking silence

Come into my solitude

Welcome to the wheel

Come into this wonderland

of wounds that will not heal

Walls that do not speak

Steps that do not sound

Come into my solitude

Burn this building down
