Numb to the Violence

I won't say we are the innocents

We're just numb to violence

The road we take is of appearances

And it comes with our silence

I won't say we are the innocents

When were numb to violence

Oh-oh

The road we take is of appearances

And it comes with our silence

Are you in the eye of a whirling storm?

The world is on fire, but you can't feel the heat of the wars

There's a nightmare inside of me

But there's a numbness that comes and it starts to become kind of ordinary

No heart starts off like a stone

But we have built a dam where the water once flowed

Freezing our souls so cold in the snow, entwined in the undergrowth

We never have the time or the energy

Some say it was a lie, a conspiracy

But we are gonna hide from our own reality

The tears that we cry are our sanity

Spent lives, in a search for protection

But what we found was a prison of oppression

We put a lock on our hearts

We locked up our souls

We lost the meaning of living in the world

I won't say that we are the innocents

We're just numb to the violence

Oh-oh

The silence

The road we take is one of appearances

And it comes with our silence

(With the silence)

I won't say that we are the innocents

When we're numb to the violence

(Are you numb to the violence?)

(Are you numb to the violence?)

The road we take is one of appearances

And it comes with our silence

(It comes with the silence)

Sometimes in a great pain

The heart becomes hard and tight like a mountain

We feel the levy of our soul near breaking

Our body boarded-up like winter vacation

But the trouble of the path of avoiding the pain

Is a life where all the colours have been lost and it all looks grey

We forget it was ever was another way

We thought we were free but we're empty
