Everyday all around us We see the consequences of silence Manifest themselves into the form of Discrimination, violence, genocide, and war Silence is the residue of fear Is this buried within or carved into stone? Can we overcome? We speak in silent voices Enslaved to tragedy We're longing for a purpose To break these chains And set us free What is a life without purpose? Since we were young we've all heard this So we've been searching for the meaning But we can barely scratch the surface What does it mean to be alive? Consumed by darkness as if it brings us light Burdened by the weight it carries Do we need it to survive? We speak in silent voices Enslaved by tragedy We're longing for a purpose To break these chains And set us free When every waking moment is spent Digging endlessly Our hollow bones begin to show As we keep losing sight Of what the message was all along Concealed behind these walls Confused and captured souls Disguised, Exposed Will we be crushed under the weight? We are all consumed by the darkness as if it brings us light Burdened by the weight Do we need it to survive? We speak in silent voices Enslaved by tragedy We're longing for a purpose To break these chains And set us free
