Pioneer Spine

Who's out triggering the soft alarm?
Barbed the entrance, now I wanna know:
Who's there feeding?
I want a name
I want a name
Just mouth it, that's fine.
The hollow throws its lousy drone
And you don't wanna breathe, but you'll talk
Now absolute the zero count.
Zero morphism, its arrowed frame.
Whose count's empty?
I want a name
I want your name
Just write it, that's fine.
The strength you've grown is monotone
But now I've turned a key,
And you can't call out again
Gather round so empty now.
All you got is spineless sound.
I want the truth, even if I gotta rip it from you
Who's out feeding?
I fed the same, so they took my name
And I put up no fight.
The void you throw is all you know.
You watched me turn a key.
How like you to shirk away a sonar's rounds,
Me, I just cloister up against its shouts.
Gather round so empty now.
All you got is spineless sound.
I want the truth even if I gotta rip it from you
But you still got your sound
And I see you staring down
I want a name even though you spoiled the one I came with
