Vices and Voices Lyrics

Where is the intelligence

And where is the integrity

I'm hearing all these voices

But no one seems to hear me

I would rip out my voice box to show you my words

Then I'd have a reason for not being heard

You said it once

I said it a thousand times

To hold onto nothing

Is to build our demise

So here I stand

With another false calamity

Pouring minutes after seconds

With the intent of feeling sanity

Am I the one who kneels?

Or the one who points the gun?

Your apathy screams of false prophecy

I waste my breath as empathy dies

If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?

Because everything I say seems to go unheard

If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?

Or use it to feed the very minds I detest

Hey

This is the sound of hate

Hey

It's already too late

Here is the intelligence and here is the integrity

I've listened to your voices but

Now it's time to hear me

Everything comes to the tip of my tongue

But I've swallowed these words for long enough

I will not suffer through another saviour

Preaching to the world of the righteous behaviour

If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?

Because everything I say seems to go unheard

If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?

Or use it to feed the very minds I detest

Hey

This is the sound of hate

Hey

It's already too late
