Reasons For Silence (Ed's Song)

Give me an age where I don't know a thing

Where black and white offers me peace from the din

Bright lights, cat fights leave me cold

Recent encounters are telling me why

My reasons for silence are so justified

I can hear you, please turn down

All these pretenders pretending to be

How do they recognize people they see?

Lives by numbers pass me by

Centered around what they know isn't true

But what is needed for distorted view

Try not to think now; you've been warned

I tried to fake it, but I got found out

Fakers who fake it are on the way out

It's just me

But I'll let myself be

And the others go free

But I know who will win

I'm on the outside
