SPEAK NOW


I don’t know why we are so different from each other Even though we belong to the same race and the same mother Being a boy is as hard as stone Moving with the water, along a definite course To find a definite shape To hide the truth, behind a smiling face To find a perfect place In this wreck or a huge menace To leave an impression You cannot speak now But have to construct a perfect illusion Take a mask and be fake In this world, nothing is actually true The original personalities Are standing in a long queue Because the body in which they were Too scared to speak now They are waiting to jump into the ocean And come back as something which is too false to be true The silence has become so loud Because no one actually dares to speak now At least you can’t hear something foul, but true At least there’s no one fighting for your crown And in voices there are rumours Terrible, and cruel, they form a Cluster on your head You’re coming one step closer To turning blind each day Because you are not able see anything because of that crowd. We have to speak now, about the truth of life We have to speak now, to get ourselves through the night Or else we’ll forever live in a lie There will be reign of regretion sighs So we have to Speak Now To break the truth and lie’s wedding vow.
