I wanted you to know
And hear what I have to say
Trapped alone
Afraid that I might lose control today
If something doesn’t change
In spite of years of silence
Subtleties of violence I have learned to speak softly
So don’t try to speak to me
Because I know just what you’ll say

The whole world is against me
And something has to change

In spite of years of silence
I still see the anger in your eyes
Won’t you speak softly?
Don’t say…

The whole world is against me
And something has to change
