lyrics

When you scream keep the peace

It sounds so contradictory

I think people only pay attention when you whisper

But the noise is getting loud

And that's when hands go over ears

And people no longer really care to listen

Show, don't tell

You gotta show, don't tell


We're all just walking each other home

There's no need to compete, no

What's the worth of folklore

If it leads us to destroy


If you want a change to come

Take a look into the mirror

How you behave is the only thing in your control

So don't spend your energy on persuading someone else

You're not their preacher

Nor are they the ones to follow

Show don't tell,

You gotta show, don't tell


We're all just walking each other home

There's no need to compete, no

What's the worth of folklore

If it leads us to destroy


The trees they are still standing but they're losing their siblings

The ocean is still there but it's becoming less deep and

Why would waste your time and space on things that'll never last

Yes there are people building but the breakdown is going faster

Take your hands off of your ears your eyes your heart

You might not wanna hear this but we need a new start

A new way of how things go

A knowing of what's right and wrong

Cause it can't go on like this


You probably won't live to see it but the world is at stake

And if I talk about the world I'm not just talking about the human race

Take a look around you and see all that is left

If there's still a lot of green you're really fucking lucky

Concrete instead of grass

And factories instead of trees

Many people are conscious

But no one's really gonna stop it


What's the worth of folklore?

What's the worth of folklore?

What's the worth of folklore?
