When money talks, its cries
Drown out their voices
Of those trampled beneath
Their feelings and their lives
So misery lies in the street
And I try to draw a line
Between my drives and my needs
But I don't know where it lies
When doubt talks, it murmurs
I always hear
Influencing choices
Blurs what should be clear
Competing voices
Make me fear
Exploitation
These murmurs are deafening my ear
In this confusion
I feel unsure
I feel infected
With what i seek to cure
Remnants left behind
From attempts to break away
Now just wondering
If I mean what i say
Crying
Murmuring
Screaming
They're all talking
When fear talks, it screams
Straight inside
Coerced surrender
Action forced to bind
Looking, i see nothing of worth
On the other side
Left somewhere I don't want to be
To watch the march of time
