lyrics

Voices of the future
Voiceless counter-revolution's
Pushing me to the end of my brain
Yeah, by the skin of my teeth,
I made it back in one piece
At the end of each end was a new beginning

Hearing voices of tomorrow
Voices drowning in their sorrows
Worried I’m goin’ out of my head
There are places and faces that I just can’t erase
Like there are daggers crawling under my skin

Voices of the shadows
Voiceless prison, voiceless battle
Yeah, tha’ lady she’s a good hot mess!
There’s a touchscreen between everybody it seems
Yet we just can’t seem to connect

How dare you!
How dare you!
Does it hurt? Does it thrill? Does it scare you?
You see I shouldn’t be here
No, I shouldn’t be here
I shouldn’t be here but I am
And that’s your failure
How dare you!

Voices quick and cunning’
Voiceless blood is running money
Say the word and my soul shall be healed
Yeah, I’ve got no reserve
‘Cause I know it will hurt
Holding on, holding out for a cure

Voices undercover
Voiceless children, voiceless lovers
Yeah you seared me with that look in your eyes
It’s all just a game that I don’t wanna play
It’s all a foolish sorry waste of my time

Teacher, tell us what you saw
Teacher, tell us what you saw
When you were climbing up the walls
Lookin’ in Pandora’s Box
When you were shaking your fists at the gods

The wind played the flute
but no one was dancing
The waves sang lament songs
but no one was cryin’
Tied to the riddle
Tied to the tragic
All these questions without answers miss the beauty, miss the magic

The same unanswered question for year after year after year after year after year

How dare you!
How dare you!
Does it hurt? Does it thrill? Does it scare you?
You see I shouldn’t be here
No, I shouldn’t be here
I shouldn’t be here but I am
And that’s your failure
How dare you!
