So Silent

歌词

• He was down on the floor with his lips to a glass
• Said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pass
• That he once strived to excel in a world so vast
• But why run a race when it's rig and he's fixed in last
• Then he mused all of life is a joke and he laughed
• That it is what it is and he's thankful for all that he has
• I said well let me just pose one question and ask
• If you just want what you have, then why are are you sad
• If you want to fight
• Then why are you running
• If everything is fine for you
• Why are you stumbling
• So silent
• She was tripping on something that was laced in her tea
• And she was high as a kite when she said she could see
• Said we in the land of the free but no freedom grows
• And if we in a brave new world where'd the brave all go
• I said, hell if I know
• Then she told me that the problem is society
• Everybody crippled by anxiety
• No one is the person that they try to be
• Then she said, what we need are a few with a view that can bring a change through
• That we need less talk and more do
• So I said to her, what about you
• If you want to fight
• Then why are you running
• If everything is fine for you
• Why are you stumbling
• So silent
• I was listening to someone give a speech
• Something 'bout the knowledge of enlightenment he reached
• And as my eyes glazed over in my seat
• He approached and he asked if he could challenge my beliefs
• I said by all means have at it
• Then he talked about the suffering and source of bad habits
• How the emptying of mind is the challenge
• And withdrawing from the world is the cure to all sadness
• I said that all sounds like madness
• Why have a life and then not be alive
• Why have a mind and then choose to be blind
• What you call wisdom is the fear that you hide
• You cannot retreat from those demons inside
• This is not peace, it's a mask you adorn
• This is not truth, it's a trap, nothing more
• And you're too busy running from something you can't ignore
• If you want to fight
• Then why are you running
• If everything is fine for you
• Why are you stumbling
• So silent
