Lyrics for Feigned Hearing
I've heard it all before I don't speak out this way What you cannot ignore There always is a price to pay If you should speak If you should make a sound If you should even step away There's never any time It all was over yesterday The tragedy and mime (of mine?) Only causes more delay The arbiter of fate Deciding who is just or not Always comes too late Looking for what he forgot
