Bound And Gagged 4 Life by To The Hopeless Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You stand side by side in perfect lines
Hold hands and stare at them in silence
Superstition and tradition: overturn those bowls in heaven
They watch the judgment pour from your eyes
Do you really think that keeping quiet is the key to changing lives?

[Verse 2]
Silence has never changed a thing
But you'll keep trying anyway
To get the sense that you've fulfilled responsibility
You stick close to the crowd
Bound to a movement that isn't moving
But bite your tongue, 'cause disagreement is dishonoring

[Verse 3]
"Murders and blasphemers!"
You pray, "May God have mercy on you!"
But you show no mercy for them
And you're the answer to your own prayer
[Verse 4]
Life isn't a word written with a pen
It's the essence of Truth spoken
It paces back and forth
On the tip of your tongue waiting for an exit

[Chorus]
It's sealed in by a red tape distraction
Designed to block the words of life
You gamble their lives away on a dream
And you're losing every time
Uncover your mute mouths
And say something worth something
And try to show your value for their lives
Help to change hearts and minds

[Outro]
Silence has never changed a thing
But you'll keep trying anyway...
