Lyrics
i want to know who's speaking in the dark. who makes it so i can't hear my way out of the cave? i want to know who's speaking when i talk if i don't own the words my tongue and teeth make. soon, i will unlearn all that i've heard, all of the terms and figures you brought to the shore from withering ports. you let not your wanderlust linger and took all you had seen: leaf from the tree, winds in the canyon not singing, water and oil now brimming. how when it fell the structure cracked the earth. we witnessed the rituals slide down from the roof. now i can tell why my tongue cast the words: great symbol, the billboard beckoning 'buy the new truth.' soon, we will relieve all of this heat, all of the tension tying you fast to the chain. breathe once again, share the air as a fountain. see the capitol fall, no longer the halls where shadows lengthen in whispers, plotting to poison our cisterns. we can't wait for their wants to wither.
