Lyrics Spock’s Beard – Vault
Text:
Empty cup
I can’t get up
To face the sun again
Biding time
I know that I can’t win
Branded by those who want me for their keep
So I’m better off if I just stay asleep
A living drone
I’m not my own
A path I didn’t choose
I take the pill
Do what you will
I’m just here to be used
Garnered by those who are just tending sheep
So I’m better off if I just fall asleep
Once the dirt falls down around you
Just be glad it never found you
Your kept yourself inside a vault you
Locked so they could never fault you
Even if tyrants bring the storm
Even if violence becomes the norm
You won’t silence me
Cause my voice is my sword
Even if death awaits me
My last breath escapes me
You can’t measure what
The word does to the hordes
I stood back and watched it
I gawked while they botched it
Knowing what’s in store
I stand on the hill for this
I raised my voice and not my fist
These words can’t be dismissed
No child should be a whore
I am a victim of the system
That won’t acknowledge my existence
Once the dirt falls down around you
Just be glad it never found you
Your kept yourself inside a vault you
Locked so they could never fault you
Once the dirt falls down around you
Just be glad it never found you
Your kept yourself inside
