Silence Songtext
von Ampersandre

Silence is all we′re given
As a weapon to counter a weapon
Trust in an education
To teach our children when to play dead
There's no way
That hiding is our best solution.
We can′t keep saying
It's in our constitution to

Worry more about the unborn
Than the ones already here
Worry more about what could happen
But the hole keeps getting deeper
Too many years since we joined in the anthem
And tell me what's been done
It′s pretty clear (we are), we are the greatest nation
At avoiding the problem


Silence when we are shaken,
Is to let the frequency make us numb
Ten-year-olds covered up in blood
So, they can see a tomorrow where there′s nothing new done
And when they speak,
Refuse to listen to the witness
Push repeat
And watch it all again, and
Worry more about the unborn
Than the ones already here
Worry more about what could happen
But the hole keeps getting deeper
Too many years since we joined in the anthem
And tell me what's been done
It′s pretty clear (we are), we are the greatest nation
At avoiding the problem

Talk a good game way back with Columbine
None of these were about the left or right
It's all simple math only we don′t want to know
We're all up for something but convenience got no soul

So, it happened like yesterday,
Lost in the silence, our feeble defiance
So many gone with a price they paid,
Telling admissions how deep the division
The sole blame:
Mental health, to push it back away,
And who, controls
The list of the depraved to


Worry more about the unborn
Than the ones already here
Worry more about what could happen
But the hole keeps getting deeper
Too many years since we joined in the anthem
And tell me what′s been done
It's pretty clear (we are), we are the greatest nation
At avoiding the problem

Speak up, shout it out. Make your voice count
Speak up, shout it out. Your silence is the problem

We are the problem
Our silence is the problem
We are the problem
Don't let your silence be the problem
