Silence of the damned
No jury
 To whom you can plead your case
 You’ve got a record
 Your past ain’t erased
 No lawyer
 To prove your innocence
 You know it’s over,you’ve known since you looked into your mothers eyes
 and she cried “why?
 Baby what have you done with your life?
 You promised me you would do fine
 On your own.”
 
 No words.
 Your silence is enough.
 As you’re pronounced guilty
 You wear those cold, hard,empty,cuffs.
 You can hardly stand.
 You see you are one of the damned
 To live forever and ever and ever
 Living in misery.
 
 The tears 
 Fall straight down your skin
 You act like you don’t care
 This is a fight you swore you would win.
 Your mind 
 Races back and forth
 As they ask you what it is you’ve been fighting for.
 They scream “You rebel!You sinner!
 Why are you so contrary?
 Don’t you see this is for the best?”
 
 No words.
 Your silence is enough.
 As you’re changed,remodeled into
 Something you are not
 You can hardly move
 You realize you’re one of those screwed
 To live forever and ever and ever
 As a threat to perfect personality
 
 Everybody wants to change the world
 But no one wants to give up their life
 Everybody wants to die a martyr
 But almost no one wants to try
 
 No words.
 Your silence is enough.
 As you live a martyr
 Your whole life you gave up 
 You don’t want to speak
 But you are not one of the weak
 To live forever and ever and ever
 Ignorant of suffering
 No words.
 Your silence is enough.
 As you live a martyr
 Your whole life you gave up 
 You don’t want to speak
 But you are not one of the weak
 To live forever and ever and ever
 Ignorant of suffering
 
 They’ve got the upper hand
 You see you are one of the damned
 To live forever and ever and ever
 In dystopian society.
