Silence

If you want my silence,

I won't be forthcoming. 

We are watching the seas turn red.

Just because it's not on my front steps,

Doesn't mean my soles don't bleed. 

If you want my silence,

I will up my screaming.

You can only buy my silence with peace. 

And there isn't a single line in between

That would make me settle.

If you want my silence,

I need your soul to listen in.

Cause these are the world's people you burn.

And that is the heart of the world you bomb. 

You cannot dehumanize that.

If you want my silence,

I need your backs unturned.

Bask in the damage and hurt you created.

Bask in the destruction cause you made this.

Your silence paid this.

You cannot get my silence. 

I will not pay the price.

You can't cover your lies with bodies

And I won't cover them with my life.
