Silence After Violence

Welcome to the playground
It hasn't changed since you were child
Just arm yourself with guns and knives
You'll see
Welcome to the playground
It hasn't changed since you were child
Just the game you play now
Makes you scared
Makes you cry
Makes you beg for your own life

Let's talk about your feelings, kid
If you have any left
After years spent online in vain
Is it too late?
Innocence sacrificed on the altar
Of ultimate gain
You've become so numb
Does pain have to reach your doorstep before you start to feel?
It will hit you hard

Silence after violence
The painful sound that screams so loud
Silence after violence
It's striking deep within our hearts
Welcome

Welcome to the battleground
Relentless roar of dying hope
What did you expect to see
When cruelty is normalised
The truth seems radical
And you become so cynical
Don't expect any miracle
You're lost
You're lost in a maze of doubt and pain

Silence after violence
The painful sound that screams so loud
Silence after violence
It's striking deep within our hearts

Welcome to the playground
It hasn't changed since you were child
Just arm yourself with guns and knives
You'll see
Welcome to the playground
It hasn't changed since you were child
Just the game you play now
Makes you scared
Makes you cry
Makes you beg for your own life

Silence after violence
The painful sound that screams so loud
Silence after violence
It's striking deep within our hearts

Welcome to the battleground
