I swear that I see faces
hiding in intricate little spaces
and they’re filled with hatred
But It’s okay because I will erase them
But now I hear ‘em talking
So loud that my ears are ringing
I don’t like what they’re saying
and I can’t ignore them
Why won’t you speak to them clearly,
and get out of your head?
I know it’s not that easy!
But you’ve got sensory functions
And you know what’s real
At least I hope that you do
Well their faces are all staring at me, with eyes that tell me what they mean
Their odd looks unsettling, but it’s okay because I will displace them
and tell them a joke, that turns to piss inside my throat
And they can see that I’m stressed, and they can feel it in my chest
Why won’t you speak to them clearly,
and get out of your head?
I know it’s not that easy!
But you’ve got sensory functions
And you know what’s real
At least I hope that you do
I just want to be no one, a function of slow hands
Just a brain inside a body
But you’ve got receptors in perception, firing without sensations
Not based in reality
It’s really bad this time
You’re saying things just in my mind
But I know they’re not real
At least I hope that I do
Know they’re not real
At least I hope I do

Oakland band Silent Era's sound is a killer mix of classic hardcore and NWOBHM. On their second LP, they're especially urgent and anthemic. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 1, 2020
