Don’t Tape Our Mouths

I woke up in a maze, they called it a life
Every step a number, every thought a knife
They cut away the feeling, they bled out the soul
Just another perfect digit, losing control

The skyline's a barcode, the streets a grid and
every dream I had is buried and hidden
Behind a plastered smile, a vacant stare
They promise you the world, but sell you the nightmare

I hear a little static in the signal, a glitch in the code
A tiny, little whisper on a dead-end road
Tellin me it’s wrong, we're told deceit and lies
there's a virus spreading, finally feeling alive!

Are you just a human error?
A glitch in the system
A flaw in the program
A revolution’s victim
This is your warning
The walls are coming down
Don’t tape our mouths
We come in crowds
We SCREAM OUT LOUD!

Yeah, they're selling us a lie, it's a new perfume
Pumped with false hope, an endless tomb
But the walls are shaking, the frequencies torn
Today a new breed of monsters is born!

They'll say we're deranged, a casualty of war
But we're the cracks, knocking on deaths door
The ones you can't silence, the ones who sing
Of living on their poison, their formaldehyde king

They built us up to crumble, they engineered the fall
But they forgot we're not robots after all
This circuitry's corrupted, a short in the wires
feeding off our minds, so set it on fire!!!

I hear static in the signal, a glitch in the code
A tiny, little whisper on a dead-end road
Tellin me it’s wrong, just deceit and lies
there's a virus spreading, we’re feeling alive!

Are you just a human error
A glitch in the system
A flaw in the program
A revolution’s victim
This is your warning
The walls are coming down
Don’t tape our mouths
We come in crowds
We SCREAM OUT LOUD!

(Ruh!)   This ain't no conspiracy (this is a diagnosis!)
(RUh!)   The cancer of control (a worldwide psychosis!)
(RUh!)   The system's got a fever, and we're the rising heat!
(RUh!)    You gave us all the rules, and forgot about defeat!
