Break The Silence

(Verse One)
Morbid makers taking over
Bleeding ill intent
Is this the state we're living in
And charged the highest rent
Sold all our souls to stay alive
Not all of us can cope
We're picky with our poisons
So we can't pick out the hope
Judgments call, I can't pick up
Can't make it to the phone
I push the world out quietly
I'm better off alone
This all became too much
And now I'm stuck inside a cage
What's the point of getting out
Only to flip the page

(Pre Chorus)
But nobody will talk
They'd rather sit and watch from there
They say it's just too hard
The truth is just too much to bear
No one wants to know
They're comfortable in ignorance
I says "fuck that approach"
I want to make a difference

(Chorus)
And break through the silence
Too many still suffer
Please open their eyes
Before we lose another
Break through the silence
For all who have left us
Can't handle the pressure
Sweet death tasted better

(Verse Two)
Some want to kill themselves
And then the others want to kill
Kids are cocking guns
I promise this is not a drill
Schools revising safety plans
It shouldn't be like this
Children waking daily
And they hope the bullets miss
We want these kids to learn
So they can build upon the future
But get shut down by power
And told "respect elder rulers"
Can you hear me now
Are you still stuck inside your trance?
Evaluate your parenting
While there is still a chance

(Pre Chorus)
But nobody will talk
They'd rather sit and watch from there
They say it's just too hard
The truth is just too much to bear
No one wants to know
They're comfortable in ignorance
I says "fuck that approach"
I want to make a difference

(Chorus)
And break through the silence
Too many still suffer
Please open their eyes
Before we lose another
Break through the silence
For those who have left us
Can't handle the pressure
Sweet death tasted better
Break through the silence
And change the perspective
And pray that this works
Let's hope it's effective
Break through the silence
From those who've been taken
You've been mistaken
The silence must break in

(Post Chorus)
Break the silence, destigmatize
Look at the fear behind my eyes
No lowest lows, no highest highs
Scream this message into the sky
Break the silence, destigmatize
Look at the fear behind my eyes
No lowest lows, no highest highs
Scream this message into the sky

(Bridge)
Too many kids are dying
And nobody will listen
We need to pay attention
When they've been acting distant
Do not turn your back
When somebody screams in pain
I cannot sit and watch
And let them fall right down the drain

(Break)
Do not turn your back
When somebody screams in pain
I cannot sit and watch
And let them fall right down the drain

(Instrumental Break)

(Bridge)
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize
Break the silence, destigmatize

(Outro)
Break the silence or break my heart
Break statistics on those charts
Change is here, we need to start
All I ask is you do your part
Help somebody, start one by one
One is always better than none
Help the one who thinks they're done
Help the one who picked up that gun
Putting all cliches aside
We need to stop and halt this ride
We can help, we can be the guide
If we don't push them to the side
Help them grow to be a good husband, partner, wife
It doesn't take a village to save one single life
