Rage In The Silence

I want to burn this place to the ground
I hate fucking military, the uniform makes me pissed

I hate how they train you to be killers, but not to use their heart
I've heard the stories of from so many vets

I worked at a fucking vet hospital, I know where I stand
I have found America to be a monster, built on blood of man

I know they have hearts, I know that they suffer
I have looked at the stats and they sicken me to the core

I have friend soon to be in the military and it has changed them already
I have an uncle who has come home and he won't even speak

I have seen the ex-rays of bullet from a little boy with a gun
I have loved and I have lost so many fucking soldiers

I know they do it for the sake of "freedom"
I know it's been beaten into their minds

I know too much and right now it's breaking my heart
I look at my uncle and my vet friends and I cry

I want to undo the damage murder has done
I want to take the things they've seen and undo it all

I look in the mirror and I'm just a girl
I look into my eyes they've seen too much

I've heard too many stories and I don't want to hear more
I've watched my grandmother worry as my uncle contemplates going back over seas

I want to scream at him to not go but he won't listen
I am just a girl, I am just a girl, I am just a girl

It's all anyone has to say anymore
I know the facts and they hurt

I look at my uncle... the pictures of him hugging my aunt
I look at him and wonder why he chooses to leave her like that

I've heard his reasons but they sound so rehearsed
I can't look at him anymore, I cannot watch the news

I rage in the silence...
I know no one will hear...
