Drown Out - The Silence/Sea of Trees Lyrics

We have a sickness in our hearts in how we worship our disease
Glorifying the lowest lows, with one eye on the noose in the rope
Cheering each other on as we inch closer to sleep
Never believing what we sow, we eventually reap

Then we call it a tragedy when it finally comes to be
Because we never wanted to believe what we could clearly see
Why do you worship the darkness within
When you know the thing you love will be your end?

We don't have a problem with blindness
We have a problem with ignorance
You see the signs and choose to glorify the sickness
I cannot stand by as just another passing witness

How can you watch and never speak out
You're just putting the blood on your hands now
You can't escape the blame, you can't run away
Because you won't admit you feel the same

Stop the enabling that's fueled by your shame
While the ones you love are destroyed by disease
It's not okay not to be okay
If you never want the sickness to go away

I'm begging you to listen to me
I will not stand by and be forced to watch you die
This isn't over yet, you still have time

I know, I know how dark it gets
But I swear this isn't over yet
I will stand with you and fight like hell
I don't care how much I have to scream and yell
You will hear my words and you will finally see
How much you're really worth, I don't care what it takes to believe
Nothing is worth giving in, nothing is worth ending it
I won't let depression kill another of my friends

No, I won't let you go, I won't let you go
Stop pretending, I won't treat this like a joke
It's killing me to see you so low
I'm begging you to grab my hand
Let me help you up, my friend
I know you don't want to believe your life means anything
But I know there is more you haven't seen
I can show you if you just trust in me
I won't let this silence drown out your pain
Just believe, if you won't do it for you, then do it for me
There is hope, there is light
I won't let you disappear into the night
