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!
