And you ask why


The common the grounded The lines they script us the lines we follow

Sit quiet don't speak words are to powerful

Sit quiet don't think thoughts are to vivid

You'll start something you'll build something we can't handle So we lock it away as to keep the system the same

But I want to write though i want to speak so you can hear me from the sky

I want to climb over the words on my paper so I can reach the top of my dreams

The rules they design the lines we color in It may not make sense but we do it anyways we may seem oppressed but we keep on droneing on and on

I want to write though I want to speak to break through the chains of normality the walls they've built for me

I want you to follow to follow me follow something worth following it may not make sense but I want you to do it anyways

Sit quiet don't speak words are to powerful

Sit quiet don't think thoughts are to vivid

You'll start something you'll build something they can not handle So they lock it away as to keep the system the same

As to blend in to fade out and when the day comes the legends run out

I want to write though I want to speak so you can hear me from the sky

I want to climb over the words in my paper so I can reach the top of my dreams

Sit quiet don't speak words are to powerful

Sit quiet don't think thoughts are to vivid
