Do Not Notice - song from The Caliphate
[Verse 1] Whatever you do do not notice The wolves at the door All hope on the floor Don’t say you see your living in decline Your town on it’s knees Covered in litter and grime Don’t name the sirens don’t count the doors Don’t look for the girls not coming home anymore If you stay quiet we can all pretend the future is fine Nothing to mend [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say it out loud Don’t give it a name They hate a witness Their never ending shame If you look right through it they lose their power They want you smaller Hour by hour [Chorus] Do not notice do not notice Do not notice they took your soul Don’t say you see it Say nothing at all, Your silence feeds them You stay small Do not notice do not notice Keep your eyes shut keep your mouth closed [Verse 2] Don’t say the police only turn on you When the wrong hands beg they know what to do Don’t say justice Bestowed on the few Depends on identity One rule for you Don’t say bad people walk ahead of good That the honest get crushed like they always would They want you numb they want you blind They want your fear to own your mind [Pre-Chorus] Don’t say it out loud Don’t give it a name They move the pieces then blame the game If you look right at it the spell comes apart So we shake the cage and we rip out the dark [Chorus] Do not notice do not notice Do not notice They stole your hope Don’t say you see it Say nothing at all, Your silence feeds them You stay small Do not notice do not notice Keep your eyes shut keep your mouth closed [Bridge] But I saw the chinks In their fake armour I heard the shots The manufactured drama I saw the fear in the kids at dusk I saw the lie trying to live through us So raise your fists and break that spell A name can shake what they guard so well [Final Chorus] Now you notice Now you notice Now you notice Lead with your heart Now say you see it Shout about it all, No more of your silence Stand up tall We all notice We all notice Our eyes are all open Our voices are loud
