Choose Humane

I tried to tell you how I feel
How I've felt for so long
But my words they fall around me
Cover the ground and swallow me whole
Now I fear that nothing, nothing will get resolved
Closure's further from my reach
Now this cycle is spinning on and on and on

Don't try to tell me that you hear me
You don't feel me at all
You just sit and wait to speak your piece
It's like I'm talking to a wall
When all is said and done I'm not the only one who feels this way
But it's okay cause I've been silent but
Today, I
Today, I

I'm speaking up
Could you shut your mouth?
Could you hear me out?
I know it's hard to keep the fire that's raging inside
From burning up your heart
You can choose to love
You can choose the light
You can choose to be humane in this twisted game
You have a choice
You have a voice
So use it wisely

Now that you're listening, can you hear me?
Do you feel me at all?
No, you're throwing your words right past me
But they're sticking to a wall
Your angry and venomous words are violent
I silently sit and observe
God knows I've been patient
The high road is long
But I know you'll get what you deserve
I know we get what we deserve

I'm speaking up
Could you shut your mouth?
Could you hear me out?
I know it's hard to keep the fire that's raging inside
From burning up your heart
You could choose the love
You could choose the light
You could choose to be humane in this twisted game
You have a choice
You have a voice
You have a choice
You have a voice
So use it wisely
