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
