Making Blind Eyes See - Vices and Voices Lyrics

Where is the intelligence
And where is the integrity
I'm hearing all these voices
But no one seems to hear me
I would rip out my voice box to show you my words
Then I'd have a reason for not being heard
You said it once
I said it a thousand times
To hold onto nothing
Is to build our demise
So here I stand
With another false calamity
Pouring minutes after seconds
With the intent of feeling sanity
Am I the one who kneels?
Or the one who points the gun?
Your apathy screams of false prophecy
I waste my breath as empathy dies
If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?
Because everything I say seems to go unheard
If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?
Or use it to feed the very minds I detest
Hey
This is the sound of hate
Hey
It's already too late
Here is the intelligence and here is the integrity
I've listened to your voices but
Now it's time to hear me
Everything comes to the tip of my tongue
But I've swallowed these words for long enough
I will not suffer through another saviour
Preaching to the world of the righteous behaviour
If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?
Because everything I say seems to go unheard
If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?
Or use it to feed the very minds I detest
Hey
This is the sound of hate
Hey
It's already too late

Where is the intelligence
And where is the integrity
I'm hearing all these voices
But no one seems to hear me
I would rip out my voice box to show you my words
Then I'd have a reason for not being heard
You said it once
I said it a thousand times
To hold onto nothing
Is to build our demise
So here I stand
With another false calamity
Pouring minutes after seconds
With the intent of feeling sanity
Am I the one who kneels?
Or the one who points the gun?
Your apathy screams of false prophecy
I waste my breath as empathy dies
If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?
Because everything I say seems to go unheard
If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?
Or use it to feed the very minds I detest
Hey
This is the sound of hate
Hey
It's already too late
Here is the intelligence and here is the integrity
I've listened to your voices but
Now it's time to hear me
Everything comes to the tip of my tongue
But I've swallowed these words for long enough
I will not suffer through another saviour
Preaching to the world of the righteous behaviour
If I gave you my tongue would you hear my words?
Because everything I say seems to go unheard
If I gave you my lungs would you waste your own breath?
Or use it to feed the very minds I detest
Hey
This is the sound of hate
Hey
It's already too late
