Choose Humane

I tried to tell you how I feel How I've felt for so long But my words they fall around me Cover the ground and swallow me whole Now I fear that nothing, nothing will get resolved Closure's further from my reach Now this cycle is spinning on and on and on Don't try to tell me that you hear me You don't feel me at all You just sit and wait to speak your piece It's like I'm talking to a wall When all is said and done I'm not the only one who feels this way But it's okay cause I've been silent but Today, I Today, I I'm speaking up Could you shut your mouth? Could you hear me out? I know it's hard to keep the fire that's raging inside From burning up your heart You can choose to love You can choose the light You can choose to be humane in this twisted game You have a choice You have a voice So use it wisely Now that you're listening, can you hear me? Do you feel me at all? No, you're throwing your words right past me But they're sticking to a wall Your angry and venomous words are violent I silently sit and observe God knows I've been patient The high road is long But I know you'll get what you deserve I know we get what we deserve I'm speaking up Could you shut your mouth? Could you hear me out? I know it's hard to keep the fire that's raging inside From burning up your heart You could choose the love You could choose the light You could choose to be humane in this twisted game You have a choice You have a voice You have a choice You have a voice So use it wisely
