You'd be hard-pressed to meet anyone in this day and age. People don't talk to each other anymore. They feel that non-obligatory conversations violates their bubble. Maybe it's because they're buried in cell phones, maybe it's because they're buried in social networking sites, maybe it's because they're pussies. We don't know.
lyrics
Your only ups are cloaked in downs
Your highs are hidden lows
Judgmental to those around you
Stop while you're still ahead
Before the ambition is dead
There is no justice here
I've been perched upon this ledge
Loading words with ammunition
Firing magazines of phrases
We live in fear of others' thoughts
Confrontation is so scary
When the words exit the barrel
Conversation is a bore
No-one hears you anymore
Talk is cheap, the words are dead
Canned emotions, sealed in lead
Send the message, no concern
There is something you must learn
We took the bait, we fell in line
The day is on our heels
You've crowned yourself with prejudice
Corroded souls and hearts
In the dark the words are broken
Fraught with fear, we're all caged
I've been perched upon this ledge
Loading words with ammunition
Firing magazines of phrases
We live in fear of others' thoughts
Confrontation is so scary
When the words exit the barrel
Conversation is a bore
No-one hears you anymore
Talk is cheap, the words are dead
Canned emotions, sealed in lead
Send the message, no concern
There is something you must learn
Talk is cheap, the words are dead
Talk is cheap, the words are dead
