Ian, Janis - Breaking Silence Lyrics

this album is the absolute best - every song is a masterpiece - esp this one

One of THE most perfect albums I've heard in quite a while. I don't know how I missed this album back in 1992! I just bought the audiophile 200g Quality Records pressing and it is AMAZING! Not a bad song on this album. If you have a great system BUY IT! You will not regret it.

Breaking Silence
Janis Ian

Come into my solitude
though I weary be
Come into my tenderness
Dream along with me
Listen to the whispers sing
Listen to the singer shout
Come into my solitude
Me and my big mouth
Thoughts unspoken, thoughts unsaid
Lies of hearth and home
Children broken on the bed
and left to lie alone
Things you talk around
Scum you choke on down
Come into my solitude
Step on sacred ground
We were speaking
of values and violence
Breaking silence
Fathers who are lovers to
the daughters that they own
Mothers who don't leave a child
a single safety zone
People so unhinged
that death is much too kind
Come into my solitude
Step over that line
...Thought I was the only one
...Thought I was the only one
...Thought I was the only, only one
We were speaking
of values and violence
Breaking silence
Come into my solitude
Welcome to the wheel
Come into this wonderland
of wounds that will not heal
Walls that do not speak
Steps that do not sound
Come into my solitude
Burn this building down

Choke on down.

I spent 24 years as a public school counselor. This song is about my job.

@raptureofindigo77 yes it is choke

This album is considered an "audiophile" recording for its high-quality sound. The songs are good too!

Actually, I think it's scum you "choke" on down. This song really kicks ass, doesn't it?

Scum you took on down.......thought I was the only one
