No Anthems

I'm a low hiss telling you something's amiss

Then you hear the sound

I'm the whisper, I can do it better

When I look around

I'm desire itself beaming from the highest shelf

You should really look down

There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock

I really get around

Seduction, pure function

It's how I learn to speak

Steal your power, in my hour

I will change most everything

I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me

But now there are no anthems

All I can hear is the echo, and the ring

I'm the sly one watching how to get it done

I don't say a word

In a slow dream plannin' up my next scheme

I lay my moves down

I'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy

In my melody

I will lay low, figuring out the way to go

Behind the scenes

I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me

But now there are no anthems

All I can hear is the echo, and the ring

Seduction, pure function

It's how I learn to speak

Steal your power, in my hour

I will change most everything

I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem

I sang the song of me

But now there are no anthems

All I can hear is the echo, and the ring

But I want an anthem, A singular anthem

An answer and a force

To feel rhythm in silence, a weapon, not violence

Power, power, source
