Lyrics
Nothing Is Innocent
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We'd wake the dead
With voices in our head
We've gotten used to ignoring the truth
We close our eyes
And breathe and eat the lies
That tell us we're so much better than you
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
All the king's men
Will serve scrambled eggs again
When white-washed walls come crashing down
We'll blink and nod
And say, "How odd"
And wonder why old friends don't come around
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
The acid rain
We fear the pain
Will blister and burn the skin
But what is more
The fear we bore
Will eat us alive from within
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
For you and me
In the land of the free
Nothing is innocent now
