No Anthems Songtext

No Anthems Songtext
I′m the locust telling you something's amiss
Then you hear the sound
I′m the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around
I'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
You should really look down
There is a road block that I couldn′t unlock
I really get around
Seduction, pure function
It′s how I learn to speak
Steal your power, in my hour
I could change most everything
I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
I′m the sidewinder watching how to cut you down
I don't say a word
Slow dream plannin′ up my next scheme
I lay my moves down
I'm the pool boy fillin′ you with cool joy
In my melody
I will lay low, freak you on your way to go
Behind the scenes
I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
Seduction, pure function
It's how I learn to speak
Steal your power, in my hour
I could change most everything
I′m not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
But I want an anthem, I′m singin' an answer
An answer and a voice
To feel rhythm in silence, a weapon, not violence
Power, power, source
Then you hear the sound
I′m the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around
I'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
You should really look down
There is a road block that I couldn′t unlock
I really get around
Seduction, pure function
It′s how I learn to speak
Steal your power, in my hour
I could change most everything
I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
I′m the sidewinder watching how to cut you down
I don't say a word
Slow dream plannin′ up my next scheme
I lay my moves down
I'm the pool boy fillin′ you with cool joy
In my melody
I will lay low, freak you on your way to go
Behind the scenes
I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
Seduction, pure function
It's how I learn to speak
Steal your power, in my hour
I could change most everything
I′m not the anthem, I once was an anthem
That sang the song of me
But now there are no anthems
All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
But I want an anthem, I′m singin' an answer
An answer and a voice
To feel rhythm in silence, a weapon, not violence
Power, power, source
