Lyrics for Song: Nothing Is Innocent
Lyrics for Album: The Trumpet Child [2007]
We'd wake the dead with the voices in our head
We've gotten used to ignoring the truth
We close our eyes and breathe and eat the lies
That tell us we're so much better than you
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
All the king's men will serve scrambled eggs again
When white washed walls come on crashing down
We'll blink and nod and say, how odd
And wonder why old friends don't come around
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
The acid rain, we fear the pain
Will blister and burn the skin
But what is more, the fear we bore
Will eat us alive from within
Silence is loud
Humility is so proud
Nothing is innocent now
For you and me, yeah
In the land of the free
Nothing is innocent now
Nothing is innocent now
Nothing is innocent now
