Lyrics

[00:19.55] I'm a low hiss telling you something's amiss
[00:23.50] Then you hear the sound
[00:27.48] I'm the whisper, I can do it better
[00:31.49] When I look around
[00:35.49] I'm desire itself beaming from the highest shelf
[00:38.99] You should really look down
[00:43.38] There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock
[00:47.21] I really get around
[00:49.87]
[00:51.91] Seduction, pure function
[00:55.58] It's how I learn to speak
[00:59.38] Steal your power, in my hour
[01:03.66] I will change most everything
[01:08.26] I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
[01:12.78] I sang the song of me
[01:14.94] But now there are no anthems
[01:17.65] All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
[01:23.33] I'm the sly one watching how to get it done
[01:27.34] I don't say a word
[01:31.39] In a slow dream plannin' up my next scheme
[01:35.13] I lay my moves down
[01:39.27] I'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy
[01:43.47] In my melody
[01:47.47] I will lay low, figuring out the way to go
[01:51.47] Behind the scenes
[01:55.69] I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
[01:59.43] I sang the song of me
[02:02.50] But now there are no anthems
[02:05.17] All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
[02:10.76]
[02:27.10] Seduction, pure function
[02:30.97] It's how I learn to speak
[02:34.77] Steal your power, in my hour
[02:38.88] I will change most everything
[02:43.38] I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
[02:47.13] I sang the song of me
[02:50.30] But now there are no anthems
[02:53.14] All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
[02:58.90] But I want an anthem, A singular anthem
[03:02.74] An answer and a force
[03:05.89] To feel rhythm in silence, a weapon, not violence
[03:10.83] Power, power, source
