Killing Us Quietly
Verse 1
I have searched within these walls
For secrets and for lies
The officials have distorted the truth
The common belief is frivolous
Verse 2
Just by stepping outside your home
Is dangerous to a degree
Some people have too much power
The weak, voiceless and vulnerable are suffering
Verse 3
Anywhere one goes to can drain the life out of them
And they won't realize it
But if they do, it may be too late
Because the ones working in the shadows have already won
Bridge
In this world, truth is stranger than fiction
It seems like the past is creeping it's way into the future
Do we have what it takes to reserve the damage that's been done?
If the answer is no
Then is everybody to blame?
Chorus
Many things are killing us quietly
Who is reliable? Who is forthcoming?
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Would you accept everything that is given to you?
Or would you not even care at all?
