lyrics

These silent men
Clutching their pens
Write all the checks
They bounced again
We love pretend
With tears that blend
In the rain, we wept,
Cheeks ever stained

Anything left to be done?
Or have we lost all control?
Never thought we'd get the chance...

Thought we were fools
Dull, worn, and dark,
They split our tongues,
Kept us apart
These silent men
Can't clutch at pens
Without their hands
We're free to laugh at them

They see it now
Of course they do
We forced them to
It's kill, or be subdued
These silent men
Can't write the checks
No hands, no power
Let's give them ours

Anything left to be done?
Or have we relinquished control?
Never thought we'd get the chance
But we've liberated hands

Your hand came off from your arm
Now you wear it 'round your neck
Flops 'round like some deadass charm
Funny, it's still clutching a pen

Your hand came off from your arm
Now you wear it 'round your neck
Flops 'round like some deadass charm
Funny, it's still clutching a pen
