Silence = Violence?

If government becomes tyrannical, and we fail to say anything or resist, are we responsible? At least partially? I would say yes. This has especially been true, in my opinion, when it comes to foreign policy (though more and more it is also an issue with actions of the state that occur closer to home).

Aimee Allen - Silence Is Violence. I love that song! "I'm losing it while you watch TV..."



Another song
to signify whats wrong
Another sunny day that tells me I must move on
Another cigarette, another cigarette will do
Enough to fill spaces between thoughts of you
I jump up and down for your attention
Rhyme after rhyme with you as my intention
I start fires wave flags that burn for you
But you don't notice do you?

Silence is violence
You don't notice do you ? I'm trying to break through your silence
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you ? I'm fighting but losing to your silence

Another time i reach but your hands not out
Holes in the walls that we don't talk about
Another is it me? Baby talk to me
I'm losing it while you watch TV
What's the matter? Can you feel me?
You bite your tongue What are you numb to me?
What's the matter? This is killing me
Do you notice do you still love me?
(With nothing,You just said everything )

Silence is violence
You don't notice do you? I'm fighting but losing to silence
Silence is violence
You don't notice do you? I'm fighting but losing to silence

The rain is the rhythm of my song for you
The puddles I splash in to cleanse myself of you
There are no rainbows you have no light
It's just me swimming in you, drowning in your black and white
oh it's winter, all my leaves have fallen off
There's no risk of fire but I'm burning
I'm burning, I'm burning
(with nothing, you just said everything)

Silence is violence
You don't notice do you I'm trying to break through your silence
Silence is violence
I don't know what to do I'm fighting but losing to silence
