Billy Russo - Distant Voices

The melody goes up
The melody goes down
It bends and bows, it ebbs and flows
It turns me round and round

I said the melody astounds
The melody confounds
Just when you thought you pinned it down
It changes how it sounds

It sounds like distant voices getting closer
1, 2, 1, 2 in that order
Born to love, but taught to murder
Take a stand before it's over

Hysteria goes in
Hysteria goes out
Information infestation
Makes you want to shout

I said hysteria is fear
And you drink it like a beer
You get real drunk, you're confident
But you're not thinking clear

Yea you wanna different mind
You want a different time
You throw away the present
Hoping some day you will find

The endpoint of the line
Where everything is fine
Forgetting how to live
You've discovered how to die

Can't you hear the voices getting closer
1, 2, 1, 2 in that order
Born to love, but taught to murder
Take a stand before it's over

Fear is a truth that can't be wrong
But truth is the courage to admit we're wrong

The certainty we claim to be
Ain't nothing, but are biases

If there's a shred of hope, there's too a shred of doubt
We only know what is abundance cause we know what is a drought

We better listen to the martyrs, we better listen to our past
Otherwise we're gonna end up right back on our ass

Can't you hear the voices getting closer
1, 2, 1, 2 in that order
Born to love, but taught to murder
Take a stand before it's over

It's over
