protect the noise   that shakes your veins   the sound travels through the windows & fills the space   fills the space   & you’re wondering   if you’re dreaming   or if you’re awake   silence settles into your skin   take a deep breath & swallow it   silence settles into your skin   take a deep breath & feel alone & powerless   learn to fight   & that man   will walk away   will walk afraid   will walk away   you’ve gotta be brave   recharge your rage   gotta be brave
