lyrics

Watch as the daylight ceases
casting shadows upon our brittle routines.
Still we don't feel the threat
that's going to put our lives to shreds.
Caught up between noises and fumes
that we're only able to consume
and its constant overuse
leaves a never healing bruise.

We are the blind ones
that tell the deaf ones what we want to see.
We are the deaf ones that tell
what the mute ones shall speak to the blind ones

So easily we are misguided
by the promising sounds of their sirens
willingly to be steered in any direction
like a monster without a head.
And the pretty dreams we're sold
only come in tiny shattered pieces.
They offer no solace
instead they only feed us violence

We are the blind ones
that tell the deaf ones what we want to see.
We are the deaf ones that tell
what the mute ones shall speak to the blind ones

We are the blind ones (show to the blind ones)
We are deaf ones (talk to the deaf ones)
We are the mute ones (listen to the mute ones)
