The Blind and the Deaf
Society's Deafening Silence
Lyrics
It is hard to imagine
Expressing difficulty in envisioning something.
That some of us
Some individuals among us
Don't belong
Do not fit or are not accepted.
In the echo of quietude
In the soundlessness,
I hear the voices say
I perceive voices speaking.
Many crushin' words that hurt deep inside
Words causing great pain.
In the silence of my heart
Amidst quietness within me,
Resignation came to me
I accepted defeat.
The pain eased somehow
Pain lessened somehow.
But the scars still remain
But the marks of hurt persist.
How long does it take
Asking about the duration
To forget the sound of
Forgetting the sounds of
A lost and numb society
A society that's lost and desensitized.
Reigned by the blind and the deaf
Ruled by those oblivious and indifferent.
In the noise of modern times
Amidst the clamor of today,
I am growing very tired
I'm becoming weary.
By people' s thoughtlessness
Due to people's lack of consideration.
It is hard for me to stay here
It's challenging for me to remain.
It is hard to imagine
Expressing difficulty in envisioning something (repeated).
That some of us
Some individuals among us (repeated).
Don't belong
Do not fit or are not accepted (repeated).
How long does it take
Asking about the duration (repeated).
To forget the sound of
Forgetting the sounds of (repeated).
A lost and numb society
A society that's lost and desensitized (repeated).
Reigned by the blind and the deaf
Ruled by those oblivious and indifferent (repeated).
