Lyrics Silent Voices - In Search of Solace

Silent Voices

Every day all around us
We see the consequences of silence
Manifest themselves into the form of discrimination, violence, genocide, and war
Silence is the residue of fear
Is this buried within
Or carved into stone?
Can we overcome?
We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We’re longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free
What is a life without purpose?
Since we were young we’ve all heard this
So we’ve been searching for the meaning
But we can barely scratch the surface
What does it mean to be alive?
Consumed by darkness as if it brings us light
Burdened by the weight it carries
Do we need it to survive?
We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We’re longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free
When every waking moment is spent
Digging endlessly
Our hollow bones begin to show
As we keep losing sight
Of what the message was all along
Concealed behind these walls
Confused and captured souls
Disguised, exposed
Will we be crushed under the weight?
We are all consumed by the darkness as if it brings us light
Burdened by the weight
Do we need it to survive?
Do we need it to survive?
Do we need it?
We speak in silent voices
Enslaved to tragedy
We’re longing for a purpose
To break these chains
And set us free
