Silence – Maried Dambruch, Maeve Doyle, Andrea Juzyca Sarah Monderer, & Caitlyn Murphy
Quiet souls, quiet minds
sung to sleep with lullabyes
hidden secrets hard to hide
Killing slowly from inside
only my words to hide behind
my voice I cannot seem to find
Oh birds of feather how you fly
through the air, across the sky
no more lies can be told
secrets open, wings unfold
secrets kept, thought sold
got to tell before I grow old
no more wonderous human flaws
take care to falter, break the laws
