~VERSE~
Repeat intro riff twenty times, instead of four.
The static comes in slow you can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows under the streets below
Woa woa
The rivers made of sound still running under ground
Runs like a silent flood we run as thick as blood

This is the sound of a heart beat this is the sound from the discontented
mouths of a haunted nation we are the voice of breaking
Down can you hear me this is the sound of the desperation bound by our own
collision we are the voice of breaking down
