Silence Is Golden (I Only Scream When I’m In Pain)
©Jerry Axson

Momma got married,
more times than I could count,
what she lacked in wisdom,
she made up for in doubt,
Daddy was a stranger,
left me with the hand that I was dealt,
God knows I forgive them both,
it goes beyond my help...

Silence is golden -
(silence is golden...)
I only scream when I’m in pain,
(don’t make a sound...)
from the tiny breaks on my heart,
(silence is golden...)
to the dull ache in my brain...
(you might be found...)
I’m not one for being beholden,
to the fabric of the human stain,
silence is golden -
(silence is golden...)
I only scream when I’m in pain...
(don’t make a sound...)

We moved a lot when I was younger,
I never saw the same place twice,
spent a lot of time just writing it down,
left to my own device,
I keep a room in my soul now,
a place where I can go,
to face down all those demons,
and things you don’t want to know...

Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
