Текст песни Break the Silence - Ryan Montbleau

Break the silence
What's it gonna take
To be the you you are
To not the you you ain't
Move like I did
Coming out the gate
When I had nothing to lose
But I knew not how to use it

Who all can say you've not yet found your glory
Who all can tell you not to sing your story
Who all can tell you not to spit your fire
Sweet little songbird sitting on a wire
And the wire's live
I'm about to ride the lightning
I'm gonna die
I'm gonna lie in a grave
I'd never lie on a page
I'm just a guy on a stage
And so before I decay
I'll find a way to break the silence

Choose whose violence
You can tolerate
The violence of your country
The violence of your state
The piles upon piles upon miles of excuses
The "everybody's foolish but I know what the truth is"
The tower's falling
The empire's crumbling
Seawater's rising
And the club's still bumping
I need to laugh and grab some life by the horns
But there's a billion hungry people now can't get through the door
The war is raging
Time is priceless
Time to fight this fight for those not yet born
For what's right
And what might otherwise turn a whole damn country into islands
Get off your high horse and break the silence

If you dare to walk through that door?
Will you ever come back the same
You say you want to be more
Underestimate the way your brain can ignore
If you dare to walk through that door?
Will you ever come back the same
You say you want to be more
Underestimate the way your brain can ignore
If you dare to walk through that door?
Will you ever come back the same you were before

Break the silence
What is there to say
Eight billion people trying to head a different way
And everyone's a star driving alone in their car
Everyone's a moon talking shit in their room
And everything's a battle and a hassle and drag
And the world's full of matches and oily rags

Shine too brightly and it all might combust
But the world gets darker if you dim your light too much
Find the balance
Or just get through the day
Find your voice
And find something to say
Don't just whet your beak like you're weak and childish
But when it's time to speak
Then break the silence

I sat for ten days in a state of pain
Healing my heart by observing my brain
Making up things about the people around me
Stirring up memories so deep they could drown me
Clearing away the dust and the death
Then back at it again, and then back to the breath
Back down the hall and then back for some rest
Back down to hell and come back to the breath
Keep the silence sacred
Keep the sacred holy
Understand that this is not for you only
I found the technique on day number nine
Kept on holding my tongue
Put some air in my lungs
Then it was time
To break the silence

Wallow, wallow, wallow, wallow
Wallow in your pity
You walk around the city
Like you're getting somewhere
No, you wallow, wallow, wallow, wallow
Wallow in your pity
You walk around the city
Like you're getting somewhere

How low, how low, how low, how low
How low can you go?

Break the silence

I didn't say much on Trump
Didn't say much on Palestine
Not that I was so quiet instead
But what was there to say that wasn't already said?
I haven't said much on Israel or Palestine
Did you need my official statement
Has one person even asked for that this time?
Any time?
No, but staying silent doesn't feel right either
Children are dying at the hands of fucked up leaders
What can I do from my tiny little page
Jump in the van and then jump on a stage
Jump up and down for the boys and the girls
I came to have a good time without ignoring the world
So if it soothes you to say it then let it be heard
May it sting like a jellyfish then fly like a bird
Might the joy in this room heal some amount of violence
Speak with the dips of your hips and your lips
And break the silence

(I could probably sing that)
