No Anthems

I'm a low hiss telling you something's amiss

When you hear the sound

I'm the whisper I could do it better

When I look around

I'm desire itself beaming from the highest shelf

You should really look down

There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock

I really get around

Seduction pure function

It's how I learned to speak

Steal your power in my hour

I will change most everything

I'm not the anthem

I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me, but now

There are no anthems

All I can hear is

The echo and the ring

I'm the sly one watching how to get it done

I don't say a word

In a slow dream planning out my next scheme

I lay my moves down

I'm the pool boy filling you with cool joy

In my melody

I will lay low figuring out the way to go

Behind the scenes

I'm not the anthem

I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me, but now

There are no anthems

All I can hear is

The echo and the ring

Seduction pure function

It's how I learned to speak

Steal your power in my hour

I will change most everything

I'm not the anthem

I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me, but now

There are no anthems

All I can hear is

The echo and the ring

I want an anthem

A singular anthem

An answer and a force

To feel rhythm in silence

A weapon not violence

A power, power source
