​The concrete wears a silent stain, where shadows move and whisper pain.
A quickened step, a lowered gaze, through the cold, indifferent haze.
We build our screens, we lock our doors, ignoring what the pavement roars.
Another siren, faint and far, a cracked window, a broken star.
We're so good at turning away, pretending it will go away.

​Oh, the silent city walls, they watch us fall.
Every blow, every cry, hidden from the light.
We are the deafened crowd, speaking not a sound,
In this apathetic ground, where the violence can be found.
We are numb, we are cold, a story often told,
A generation growing old, with a silence bought and sold.

​See the bruises, barely healed, a future stolen, unrevealed.
The fight is fast, the pain is deep, while the rest of us are fast asleep.
We label it a private thing, the suffering that the shadows bring.
“It’s not my battle, not my blame,” we whisper out in muted shame.
The fear becomes the only friend, when will this crushing cycle end?

​Oh, the silent city walls, they watch us fall.
Every blow, every cry, hidden from the light.
We are the deafened crowd, speaking not a sound,
In this apathetic ground, where the violence can be found.
We are numb, we are cold, a story often told,
A generation growing old, with a silence bought and sold.

​When did our compassion die? Beneath a calculated sky?
Did we trade our empathy for ease, hiding behind the social disease?
The hurt is real, the damage stays, in the echo of these empty days.
But the silence is a weapon too, when we know the wrong, yet fail to do
The simple act of reaching out, to break the fear, to quell the doubt.
​
​Oh, the silent city walls, they watch us fall.
Every blow, every cry, hidden from the light.
We are the deafened crowd, speaking not a sound,
In this apathetic ground, where the violence can be found.
We are numb, we are cold, a story often told,
A generation growing old, with a silence bought and sold.

​Hear the whispers turning louder now...
A silence bought and sold...
A silence bought and sold...
Break the wall.
