Lyrics Generationals – Breaking Your Silence

You were shot down for banging on sidewalks
Waking up sovereign states
Raking up graves and wasting your common grace
Creatures outside were posting your face up

Instead of breaking your silence
You could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself, but
They could see in your eyes
There’s not a thing they could say so

Holding on tight to places you remember
Keeping your story straight
Taking your time with friends you invite to your wake
You were so tired of waking up, shaking
Facing your passing days
Rolling in circles, hoping the fever would break

Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind
You got a reason to stay
Instead of breaking your silence
You could be the same way
And keep your favors to yourself, but
They could see in your eyes
There’s not a thing they could say so

Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure

Instead of breaking your word
You can pay to make sure
They never back the train up, but
They can read in your mind
You got a reason to stay
