silence is golden but people are bitter
seems like flames are getting hard to smother down
were smoldering below
our mantle bricks and embers glow
so blow the candles out youre seventeen
and you have skin not evergreens
you cant be in the right
not all the time
its wasted time
silence its tepid but coffee better
keeps me up when quiet tries to put me down
our hands they reconcile
the shaking palms its infantile
they way we stunt our children let them grow
but kill their future from below
uproot their aspirations
are we not a generation?
but you have something to say
have something do say
dont you
whyd you throw it away
dont throw it away
dont you
see theres only a way
only one way
through this maze
when the walls dont stay the same
silence is golden but people are simple
were all carbon copies of our little lives
our little lies we tell
to make us comfortable but hell
the future isnt black and white
you can't be thoughtless and still fight
for something you dont know the name of
arent you arent you terrified?
but you have something to say
have something do say
dont you
whyd you throw it away
dont throw it away
dont you
see theres only a way
only one way
through this maze
when the walls dont stay the same
silence is golden but poison is silent
paper cups and violence are the same damn thing
you cant tell whats inside but
youll still drink until you die
glass of hypotheticals
you fill with cynics picture all
the people who believe that their
opinions are not critical
but you have something to say
have something do say
dont you
whyd you throw it away
dont throw it away
dont you
see theres only a way
only one way
through this maze
when the walls dont stay the same
