Lyrics
A painted promise - a smokescreen dream
A promise that was artificially created, masking a dream that did not live up to our expectations.
It wasn't all we thought it'd be
The reality did not match our initial perceptions and hopes.
A fortune made - when we betrayed
We gained wealth at the cost of betraying the trust and belief we had.
The faith we'd placed in our blind belief
We invested faith in a belief without clear vision, and now face the consequences.
We were once close as blood
We were once as close as family, bound by blood.
Yeah...
An affirmation of the closeness, followed by acknowledgment.
Locked inside - pride's prison cells
We are confined by our pride, trapped in our own emotional cells.
Separately suffering for our sins
We suffer individually for the wrongs we committed.
Well, the seasons changed - but the chill remains
Although time has passed, the emotional distance remains.
A karmic debt keeps us Siamese twins
We are bound by a karmic debt, like Siamese twins, connected by fate.
Until it's said, nothings done
Nothing is truly resolved until it is openly acknowledged.
The silence is broken
The period of silence is over; a significant change is happening.
And that we have spoken
We have expressed our thoughts and feelings.
Don't turn away
An appeal not to ignore or turn away from the truth.
I know we can change
Expressing confidence that positive change is possible.
A quickening - a bitter end
A sense of urgency and an inevitable unpleasant conclusion.
Come what may, something must be said
A realization that certain truths must be confronted.
This reckoning - should be deafening
The confrontation should be intense and impossible to ignore.
Instead of pregnant tranquility
Instead of calmness, there should be a loud acknowledgment of reality.
The rebirth has begun
A new beginning, a rebirth, is underway.
Emancipation lives and breathes
Freedom from the past is alive and active.
In the words one should but never speaks
The power of unspoken words that can bring liberation.
Communication can end this speculation
Clear communication can dispel uncertainty and doubt.
And if we fall then at least we'll go down screaming!
Even if we fail, let it be with a bold and passionate expression.
Broken! the silence is broken!
Explicitly stating that the silence has been shattered.
'Til it's said, nothings done! the silence is broken!
Reiterating that words must be spoken for actions to be effective.
