Silence

It's not the shouting

Or the angry words

It's not those looks

Sideways glancing

It's not do as I say

It's not complianceIt's the silence

It's the silenceIt's not the reasoning

It's not the logic

It's not the questions

Third degree

It's not acceptance

No, it's not defianceIt's the silence

It's the silenceFear of the unknown

Is bad enough, yeah

But saying nothing

Says so muchIt ain't you, it ain't me

Ain't where you come from

Color of skin

It's not about pain

It ain't about violenceIt's the silence

It's the silence

It's the silence
