V1 (Intro: Part 2)
The static comes in slow 
You can feel it grow 
Our stream of conscience flows 
Under the streets below 

V1: Interlude (Don't Palm Mute)
Whoa, whoa-o, whoa, whoa-o 

The rivers made of sound 
Still running underground 
Runs like a silent flood 
We run as thick as blood 

Pre-Chorus 1
    Can you hear it rise?  Up from the ground

We are the voice of breaking down

Interlude: Same as Intro: Part 2 (Don't Palm Mute)

V2 (Same as V1)
The static comes alive 
Beneath the broken skies 
John Perkins said it right 
Love is the final fight 

Pre-Chorus 2
Let it rise above 
Rise above 
There is no song 
Louder than love
