V1 (Intro: Part 2)
The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
V1: Interlude (Don't Palm Mute)
Whoa, whoa-o, whoa, whoa-o
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Pre-Chorus 1
Can you hear it rise? Up from the ground

Down! Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down

Interlude: Same as Intro: Part 2 (Don't Palm Mute)
V2 (Same as V1)
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Pre-Chorus 2
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
