[Verse 1]
And you told me you could see that I was lying through my eyes
And I'm surprised that I could try to even hide out from the light
Tried to stay between the lines, but heaven knows I almost died
And now I'm careful of the heights I couldn't see if I was right
Consequences aren't there until the action is perceived
By judge, the jury, they decide if you should stay or roam the streets
Crucified over a testimony spoke with brittle teeth
Eroded by a life of lies that everyone has to believe
We're desensitized to life and life is full of growing
Learning what will make our leaves turn green
But now the cult will clip our wings
We're aware progression isn't the end goal
And when we reach the final road
We'll see that we are turning cold and growing old

[Chorus]
And could you listen in?
Hear the voices in the wind
They're crying out for nothing more than just a friend
Maybe some you'll recognize and want to help
But all the ghosts will scream, leaving them to rot and waste in hell

[Verse 2]
Humans focus on mistakes like there has never been a day
Where someone close to them would say, "You hurt me in so many ways"
People hurt and people heal and people never hurt again
Because they learn and love to love and never want it all to end
People grow and people know that humankind is predisposed to make mistakes
And humankind will make one every single day
While we push to mimic, God, we start to lose the light of day
And lives who need a helping hand to let them know that they are safe
Life is worth the battle all of us will face
But we must stop the spread of hate that's countering the gentle space that we create
Recovery and change is something that you shouldn't throw away
'Cause proof is hidden in the page and in between the ace of spades
[Chorus]
And could you listen in?
Hear the voices in the wind
They're crying out for nothing more than just a friend
Maybe some you'll recognize and want to help
But all the ghosts will scream from leaving them to rot and waste in hell
