Deaf

Dancing to a parade 

An ongoing musical charade 

I'm lost in the scene 

Lights, Camera, Action 

My nightly exhibition 

My blank face turns somber 

Lost in routine 

Monotonous cliche 

Deja Vu I've been here before 

Deaf on a dancefloor 

Detached from the world 

In this absence of sound 

Hanging on a gibbet 

Beautiful distortion 

Lights, Camera, Action 

Paralysed and slipped 

Beyond life 

Stop before the world breaks me 

Covers up the lie 

Taste the sweet bitterness 

Leaving me to die 

I'm lost in this pretense 

My nightly charade 

Dancing to pretend 

Who am I now? 

Deaf, dumb and blind
