Silenced

(album: Fire Doesn't Grow On Trees - 2022)

I heard an awful lot of stuff about you
And not all of it is nice, so I hope it's not true
And I've noticed people aren't kind
So I take my time making up my mind
Making up my mind, making up my mind
Thinking about you, wigging out for you
Looking out for you

All the people like to talk in this town
And the gossip and the rumors fly round
And your friends get high, and your friends get low
And everybody's talking so everybody knows
And they talk a lot of gossip 'cause they don't really live
And they got no love 'cause they got none to give
There's no love to give, when there's no love to give
And it's no way to live, if there's no way to live
With no love

I should steal a car or find another way
To try and get away and find a better way to live

Once I loved the world so much
I guess I was a kid, I was out of touch
I thought about the world out there
I honestly believed everyone would care
Everyone would care, everyone would care
Now I know they don't and they're everywhere
Trying to bring you down

I should cast a spell, or find a way to say
To make them go away and make them do what's right
