You live in a world of deception and dreams
And it takes your emotions to the extreme
You wonder if the pressure will ever cease
And why you never seem to get some release
Why should it be any different today?
No one ever listens to what you say
Chorus:
One voice calls out its pain
One voice, it screams in vain
One voice cries from the soul
One voice out of control
You're afraid to speak out although you want to
Things said in the past have come back to haunt you
When you do try to speak, people tune you out
The frustration builds till you just want to shout
Why should it be any different today?
No one ever listens to what you say
*Chorus
Bridge
One voice in the darkness is straining to be heard
One voice cries out its pain, but no one hears a word
One heart feels the burden of keeping things inside
One voice rendered speechless and part of you has died
They want your blood and they demand your sweat
You slave your life away to find you're still in debt
To get things off your chest is what you need to do
Listen to what the voice is trying to tell you
Why should it be any different today?
No one ever listens to what you say
*Chorus
