Silence is Violence

Chorus

I scream and shout till my voice goes dead

You look away, pretend you never heard what I said

Truth doesn’t matter when comfort’s the rule

But silence is violence when pain is the wound

Post-Chorus

No, no, no

You won’t shut me down

No, no, no

I’ll never back out

Verse 2

A badge on his chest doesn’t change what he’s done

You hand out gold stars, think that justice is won

Kids in the playground believe what they're told

But when evil wears blue, the silence gets old

Pre-Chorus

I’m not the problem for speaking it loud

You call me crazy but you’re lost in the crowd

I won’t sugarcoat, I won’t make it neat

You try to dent my courage, I won’t accept defeat

Chorus

I scream and shout till my voice goes dead

You look away, pretend you never heard what I said

Truth doesn’t matter when comfort’s the rule

But silence is violence when pain is the wound

Post-Chorus

No, no, no

You won’t shut me down

No, no, no

I’ll never back out
