Tired of Being Quiet Haley Heynderickx

[Verse 1]
We don't talk about the distance
We don't talk about the hunger
Perhaps since we don't talk they cannot tell we're going under
Perhaps we've been too fearful of not doing what we're told
Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone

[Verse 2]
In a land where I'm a stranger
Is a land where I am numb
I cross the streets in shadows to hope the whole world won't find out
That my rights are still translucent, like a sharp wind in the cold
Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone

[Verse 3]
I learned that poverty is normal
I learned the language hurts my tongue
I learned that jobs are scarce like cutlery is sharp as hunger to my stomach
My bravery is still nameless, an expressionless expression
Oh, it's easy being quiet but it won't leave much room for questions

[Verse 4]
When can we learn to live forgiveness?
When can my brothers know their names?
Will we ever find the balance of sharing land in the same place?
I feel the new world slowly bloomin' as the old one starts to mold
Oh, it's easy being quiet but it ain't easy being alone
