So Rude

Motion

It’s not about politics, it’s about breathing.
This song is a ghost asking a simple question:
Why is a voice worth less than silence,
and why do we choose bullets over words?
I wrote this sipping tea,
trying to make sense of a world
that still thinks killing is louder than listening.

Lyrics:

It's a killin' spree  
And it's been one for centuries  
Since the gods gave us speech  
'cause we're too dumb to talk it out  
Yeah  
You point that gun at me  
While I'm sippin' on chamomile tea  
'cause it's not that deep  
You got so much to live for now  

So why you killin' me?  
Why you killin' me?  
Ain't no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin' me?  
We got two ears and one mouth  
So let's talk it out  
Or I'll be your ghost  
Floatin' 'round your haunted house  
So why you killin' me?  
Why you killin' me?  
Ain't no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin' me?  

Heaven's a private suite  
And they're kickin' out the new recruits  
God says  
"They're startin' to bug me now"  
And it's a pain to me  
'cause I miss my friends and family  
And the love we breathe  
Don't let that light be snuffed out  

So why you killin' me?  
Why you killin' me?  
Ain't no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin' me?  
We got two ears and one mouth  
So let's talk it out  
Or I'll be your ghost  
Floatin' 'round your haunted house  
So why you killin' me?  
Why you killin' me?  
Ain't no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin' me?  

History’s on repeat  
Every martyr, every broken street  
But I still believe  
We can learn to hear, not shout  
Yeah  
Put your anger down  
It’s the only way we turn this round  
‘Cause there’s more to gain  
When we choose to stick around  

Raise your hands, not your hate  
Every life deserves a place  
We can fight with words, not knives  
Every voice deserves the right  

So why you killin’ me?  
Why you killin’ me?  
Ain’t no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin’ me?  
We got two ears and one mouth  
So let’s talk it out  
Or I’ll be your ghost  
Floatin’ ’round your haunted house  
So why you killin’ me?  
Why you killin’ me?  
Ain’t no opinion worth a life  
Why you killin’ me?  

Why you killin’ me? (why, why)  
Why you killin’ me? (why, why)  
No word worth dyin’ for  
Every voice is worth much more  
Why you killin’ me?  
Why you killin’ me?  
We got two ears and one mouth  
So let’s talk it out

killing spree
