The Silence and the Drones

Rinsing his hands of gold

The fear that makes us old

Abused into control

The only thing he knows

Swallowing it down whole

He does what he is told

The lies that he's been sold

A place that feels alone

The silence and the drones

The only thing he knows

Bowing his head in sorrow

The light turns on

So won't you let me please forget?

They're watching close

So won't you let me please forget?

Let me please forget

His eyes showing defeat

A record on repeat

A soul that never sleeps

His heart grows old and weak

Decays and cannot keep

A choice in not to speak

It only makes it harder

The light turns on

So won't you let me please forget?

They're watching close

So won't you let me please forget?

A thousand hands are reaching out

A choir of voices to shake me down

A broken conscience

Won't you let me please forget?

Let me please forget

Let me please forget

Let me please forget

Let me please forget
