Speaking causes issues
Well at least that\'s what I\'m being shown
Words get misconstrued
No peace at home
If I speak it\'s a problem
If I\'m quiet I\'m a child
If I\'m minding my own business
I\'m still needed in a while
I don\'t have a right hand
I don\'t have a second view
If I show an upper hand
It\'s still one against two
So the greater takes a stand
And the one is left alone
And it\'s back to being canned
In a room turn off the phone
Because everything you do
is a problem unknown
But if nothing is done
It can\'t be taken wrong
If you don\'t text or speak
Nothing can be said
Because there\'s no offense
To words unspoken or unread
So \"keep to yourself \"
States the voice in my head
It wouldn\'t matter
Not like they care
It wouldn\'t mean anything
If you\'re here or there
They don\'t notice if you\'re around anyway
The very absence of your being
Is probably the one thing that they\'re needing
Actually it\'s clear it is
Since it\'s already been spoken
So emotions run high
Oh wait emotions can\'t be awoken
Hold your tongue in pure silence
Lest your voice be broken
And taken in a way not even shown
An attitude
You\'re wrong
If you speak it\'s a problem
If you\'re quiet you\'re a child
If you mind your own business
You\'ll be needed in a while
It\'s hard to wrap your mind around it
Nonsense is how it sounded
But it remains true
Nonetheless your words are mounted
Voice your opinion and get hounded
In their dominion you\'re uncounted
Silence quiet peace unfounded
Astounded
Never knew one could take
words even unsaid the wrong way
Then when how you feel is stated
You\'re still wrong and now you\'re playin
Now you\'re victim to the situation
I know I know i know it\'s crazy
Never heard of anything like this
It\'s to the point where I\'m like is
There a way to just live not exist
Cause my presence is no longer a present
I\'m not fighting to be accepted
Phrases returned are never dealt with
So my apology I probably should\'ve kept it
So now I\'ll just be rogue and
I\'ll live by a new slogan
One that explains all things in peace
Shh quiet down they\'re around
Hands Up, Don\'t Speak
