Take a ride to find escape

 She killed her past

 For the future needs her

 She told her lover to take her hand

 For someone else's fear

 She break her back no longer, oooooh

 

 It's a virus of silence, of silence

 

 Now get out, get out

 The the marketplace merry-go-round

 Their mouths they move

 But make not a single sound

 All of their words are worthless wind

 A loose lip sync

 From a shell-shocked soldier

 And when our fists bulge fat with sand

 We wrap ripe ribbons

 To fill our coffins full

 

 It's a virus of silence, of silence

 

 Are you living the life that you dreamed for now?

 Or are you working, working, working just to survive?

 Oh there's a war that is waged in your mind

 It's forced inside

 Woah, between desire and the roles with to comply

 I met a woman who told me her secrets

 And she said, she s-s-s-said

 "Do what you love 'cause in the end we only die

 And though the body may be imprisoned, oh, I know

 Nothing can stop the bird of hope from taking flight"

 

 "someday" syndrome epidemic screams

 Confines our dreamscapes in

 screens and picture frames

 

 It's a virus of silence

 It's a virus

 

 Are you living the life that you dreamed of right now?

 Oh yeah, or are you working, work, work just to survive?

 Oh there's a war that is waged in your mind

 It's forced inside, ooh

 Between desire and the roles with to comply

 I met a woman, she told me a secret

 Ah she said, she said

 "Now son, do what you love 'cause in the end we only die

 And though the body may be imprisoned, oh

 Nothing can stop the bird of hope from taking flight"
