Oh, that I could scream
And the world would stop and listen
And these scars could speak in volumes
But who has ears to hear
Or eyes to see
Again I scream
But my voice is buried in an unearthly silence
Like in nightmares when ghosts steal your breath.
I pray that power be not in my words
But in truth that supercedes the mind of man
And our dead hope, and our blind faith in means that look to justify the ends.
I feel a presence in the room
I feel cold fingers close around my neck.
With out you I am lost.
Let mine eyes not fail with looking upward

    WYT: I wouldn't take it actually. Its one thing about spreading your music to other people, i mean, Thrice is doing that right now... but getting on MTV starts to screw up a band and everything. A real punk band on MTV kind of turns them into hypocrites. Punk speaks out against corporate media and such, so why WOULD they be on MTV singing lyrics like that? These are some of the reasons why bands like GC and NFG aren't exactly real punk [please no ignorant groupies come attacking me]. I just wouldn't like to see Thrice like that. Not saying its going to happen, just pointing out it'd be a disheartening thing if it did.

    Kahuna: yeah, we're on the same wavelength here, then, sorry if it seemed I was being assholic then. :}
