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
