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 And when a knife in our heart is the price we pay For keeping eyes open to the day You can understand why we look away Don't wanna be drowned by the falling rain But now we have a choice to make Are we gonna see the day when we can bleed willingly and joyfully Become a fragment of humanity, cos you know? Desolation is lonely I won't say that we are the innocents We're just numb to the violence (Are you numb to the violence?) (When we're numb to the violence) The road we take is one of appearances And it comes with our silence (Comes with the silence) (Comes 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?) (When we're numb to the violence) The road we take is one of appearances And it comes with our silence Oh-oh
