Silent Screams Lyrics

There's this noise I hear when I stop to listen

It can sound like a whisper or a cry in the distance

When listening to both there is no difference

They're still quiet and live just above the violence

It's become a reminder that there's no such thing as silence

Just listen

Can you hear it

It gets carried away by the wind

But blends into the daily sounds we hear

And I fear we tried drowning out the noise

It's so much easier to avoid when we have a choice

These voices are trying to catch our attention

There's paths to take I pray you choose to listen

Because there's so much at stake

So let's break this pattern we continue to make

You let the pills run their course

Numbing this pain at the source

Sweat runs from the pores flooding these sheets with regret

We constantly forget that living is not the same as breathing

There's a beating, hearts pounding all together

Hear them breaking

This screaming lasts forever

But falls on the deaf ear

The resounding sound that rings so clear falls to the wayside

Oppression can hide in the cracks

To break the foundation of a nation that backs

Itself with feelings rather than facts

Just listen

Can you hear it
