lyrics

Within the hiss and static
Whispers from a time long gone
Is it fiction or history?
I cannot hear the voice of reason within me
A shadow of a doubt is spying from the streets

And all we hear is in reverse
These unsaid words feel like a curse

Out of earshot signals worn
With vocal chords ripped and torn
Play the tape and it’s back masked
To the front these ghosts are dragged

With the electric noise filtered out
Does the message become more clear?
In the background a muffled shout
Is it in rage or fear?
Is it even real?

And all we hear is in reverse
These unsaid words feel like a curse

Out of earshot signals worn
With vocal chords ripped and torn
Play the tape and it’s back masked
To the front these ghosts are dragged

With the electronic noise filtered out
Is the message more clear?

Out of earshot signals worn
With vocal chords ripped and torn
Play the tape and it’s back masked
To the front these ghosts are dragged
