Here are the lyrics for “Keep The Silence” (written by Mandy Leigh Storm)

Keep the silence

Keep believing, its something until I sleep

Too many tears are bouncing off rainbows

Mechanics switch this channel to play

Heed the silence

Keep believing, it’s something until I sleep

And wind whispers through my veins

I can’t imagine keeping warm

Because my eyelids are ashamed to speak for daytime

All this pain

Is suspended given all these teardrops on my cheeks

Being 40,000 beliefs into the future

Well I belong

It’s just too long

Just too long

Keep the silence

Keep believing, it’s something until I

Keep the silence

Don’t let it go

Must keep believing

In something until I sleep

I never thought I could be so good

I gotta face my fears

I gotta warn myself

I miss me
