Silence Is the Loudest Answer

How much is it gonna take?
How much is enough for you?
How come you seem so alarmed?
How much do you need?
How much could suffice for you?
How much 'til you turn on the charm?
We've all got needs
We've all got substitutes
We've got patterns and prisms and schemes
We've all got our faults
We've all got our miseries
To blow off and do as we please

Are you so desensitized
You can't even realize?
You just re-gentrify as the blood runs by
You could sand down a stone
You could find a new home
But if your "them" amounts to "us"
Then, we're never gonna leave you alone

How much does it cost?
How much can it make?
How much is too much at behest of all of our sakes?
How much can you bear?
How long can you stare
'til you feel like you've got nothing left and you're not even there?
We've all got our wants and we've all got our cares
We've all got our hopes and our dreams
And we've always got prayers
Enough is not enough
We could never spare the sympathy
'til the only thing left is a souvenir shop of our empathy

How can you dignify those that you classify
You just re-gentrify as the blood runs by
You could sand down a stone
You could find a new home
But if your "them" amounts to "us"
We're never gonna leave you alone
We're never gonna leave you alone
We're never gonna leave you alone
