Silent Crime

                                  I won't be the one to say every thing's going to be alright

Even though I thought I caught you crying on the phone last night

And how can I say that I know what it's like

When there's nothing to believe in, there nobody listening?



We've seen it all before and the boy who lives next door

Who gains your trust and has his way

And all the bruises heal, but not the shame

Inflicted by this viciousness and everyone's to blame



It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime

That everyone pretends that they can't see

She already locked away the memories inside

And lives in a prison while he walks free



What kind of world have we become

Has everybody lost control?

Was there ever a time when anyone could feel safe

Wherever they go



Instead of living in fear suspecting everyone

Nobody wants to get involved

Sit and watch your neighbors die

Do you think that you're absolved?



It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime

That everyone pretends that they can't see

She already locked away the memories inside

And lives in a prison while he walks free



I think about it everyday and I don't think it's gonna change

I think about it everyday and I don't think it's gonna change



It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime

That everyone pretends that they can't see

She already locked away the memories inside

And lives in a prison while he walks free
