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"
