Lyrics

The first storm of the springtime The day after bad news hits My heart felt a kinship with the dark and angry sky And my eyes flooded for days A blanket of gray has covered me Neither for comfort or support It's a heavy weight pressing down with full force And our frigid sun doesn't keep me warm anymore We hold our breath in anticipation 'Cause we're swimming in a pool of fear But it shouldn't be allowed Half of us already drowned Don't you know when you scream underwater there's no sound? There's no peace in this kind of silence Jovial ignorance will stand out in a room You can try to tune it out But when it gets too loud You'll notice people joining in, singing out of tune I've been hiding from the sunshine Or maybe it's hiding from me But if there's one thing I'm certain of, it's uncertainty I just need a second 'cause my body is fatigued It's just hard to keep up with all of these self-righteous fiends Nobody talks anymore We're all just making noise To satisfy our need To feel like we contribute So go admire yourself You'll get your hard-earned trophy For participating in Speaking, but saying nothing
