[Verse 1: Janel Monique & Kia Castillo]

They sold your soul away without permission

They let you think that you've got control

They come and take what they wanted from ya

Now smile and get on with the show

Sacrifice the poor to the rich man's war

And burn the evidence up

Their turn to pay the piper

But they're going to pay the judge


[Pre-Chorus: Janel Monique]

Your silence is betrayal

Your silence is betrayal

[Chorus: Kia Castillo, Janel Monique, both]

No, we don't feel a thing and you're not listening

How can you buy the lies they tell?

When they brеak you down and use your parts to sell

No, we don't feel a thing (Wе don't feel a thing)

A loss of humanity

How can you buy the lies they tell?

We can't get out, it was all designed to fail

[Verse 2: Janel Monique & Kia Castillo]

The truth becomes another headline revision

They want you all to see and believe

Blood on their hands is in the framework

They don't want a cure for the disease

They read your rights and throw the key

Reciting thoughts and prayers

The system was designed to fail 'cause in their game

You're just another player

[Chorus: Kia Castillo, Janel Monique, both]

No, we don't feel a thing and you're not listening

How can you buy the lies they tell?

When they break you down and use your parts to sell

No, we don't feel a thing (We don't feel a thing)

A loss of humanity

How can you buy the lies they tell?

We can't get out, it was all designed to fail


[Breakdown: Janel Monique]

Your silence is betrayal

Your silence is betrayal

System failure

System failure


[Bridge: Kia Castillo]

They say don't fear the reaper

'Til you poison your own well

They lost all their connection

Maybe they'll find it in hell

[Outro: Kia Castillo & Janel Monique]

(If you look hard enough down a loaded gun)

They say don't fear the reaper

(Maybe you'll finally see when your time is up)

(If you look hard enough down a loaded gun)

'Til you poison your own well

(Maybe you'll finally see when your time is up)

(If you look hard enough down a loaded gun)

They lost all their connection

(Maybe you'll finally see when your time is up)

(If you look hard enough down a loaded gun)

Maybe they'll find it in hell

(Maybe you'll finally see when your time is up)
