lyrics

All the answers that I sought
All the messages I caught
They have blown up in my face
Anyway…

You won’t catch me trying to hide
That I’m striving for new heights
And to beat the interstate

To think some would defend
That there are no laws but punishments

All my polyglots say ‘Aye!’
The point of pride we carry is a lie
They foiled us with deaf, dumb and bleak
Languages we speak
And all of this time we’ve been robbed blind
Of life

I’ve been gasoline to flame
I was shown charts to scale my aches
I’m not a fan of keeping score
Anymore…

A band of misfits standing tall
Clean and shaven overall
But my throat is getting hoarse

From fighting sky and stars
For laughing at the dwarves we are

All my polyglots say ‘Aye!’
The point of pride we carry is a lie
They foiled us with deaf, dumb and bleak
Languages we speak
And all of this time we’ve been robbed blind
Of life

My love spends her nights complacent with fright
The words she puts out are but foam at her mouth
My friends find their days slightly misplaced
They’re writing a song but won’t know where it’s gone

All my polyglots say ‘Aye!’
The point of pride we carry is a lie
They foiled us with deaf, dumb and bleak
Languages we speak
And all of this time we’ve been robbed blind
Of life
