Zack Hemsey - So Silent lyrics

He was down on the floor with his lips to a gla** Said he dreamed of a future that won't come to pa** That he once strived to excel in a world so vast But why run a race when it's rig and he's fixed in last Then he mused all of life is a joke and he laughed That it is what it is and he's thankful for all that he has I said well let me just pose one question and ask If you just want what you have, then why are are you sad If you want to fight Then why are you running If everything is fine for you Why are you stumbling So silent She was tripping on something that was laced in her tea And she was high as a kite when she said she could see Said we in the land of the free but no freedom grows And if we in a brave new world where'd the brave all go I said, hell if I know Then she told me that the problem is society Everybody crippled by anxiety No one is the person that they try to be Then she said, what we need are a few with a view that can bring a change through That we need less talk and more do So I said to her, what about you If you want to fight Then why are you running If everything is fine for you Why are you stumbling So silent I was listening to someone give a speech Something 'bout the knowledge of enlightenment he reached And as my eyes glazed over in my seat He approached and he asked if he could challenge my beliefs I said by all means have at it Then he talked about the suffering and source of bad habits How the emptying of mind is the challenge And withdrawing from the world is the cure to all sadness I said that all sounds like madness Why have a life and then not be alive Why have a mind and then choose to be blind What you call wisdom is the fear that you hide You cannot retreat from those demons inside This is not peace, it's a mask you adorn This is not truth, it's a trap, nothing more And you're too busy running from something you can't ignore If you want to fight Then why are you running If everything is fine for you Why are you stumbling So silent
