The Next Voice You Hear

Gather your deeds and your possessions

Whatever certainty you've known

Forget your heroes

You don't really need those last few lessons

Stand in the open

The next voice you hear will be your own



Well alright, they knew how they could hurt you

And you let them cut you to the bone

But god forbid

You allow them to rid you of your virtue

Forget their laughter

The next voice you hear will be your own

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear will be your own



Throw down your truth and check your weapons

And don't look to see if you're alone

Just stand your ground

And don't turn around whatever happens

Don't ask directions

The next voice you hear will be your own



The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear

The next voice you hear will be your own
