lyrics

Yes! I still believe.
But what do these words have to do with me
Are we all mute, can’t we speak and express the ideas we really think?
I want your voice out of my head; I can’t believe the words you said.
All this great music with no message, what is the point?

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind as it is

The words I heard inspired me to look at myself and the world around me.
I know what I believe I know what I think, I don’t want this “scene” but I won’t watch it sink.
If we can help each other believe that life is worth living that that is enough for me.
A community that can do so much more than shout out slogans and hit the dance floor.

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind as it is!

I have faith in the words we said but its useless man if we don’t use our heads.
Screaming at the top of my lungs, you think the core is ending but it’s just begun.
So many people looking for green curse and scream and just use the scene.
You can hurt its name and you can win, but you’ll get out what you put in!

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind as it is
