A Voice of Many

DROWN

                GHOST

FLIGHT

I AM THE THIEF OF THE NIGHT
RUNNING AROUND SNATCHING UP THE STITCHES OF EVERY DREAM DREAMER OR 
DREAMETTE


I AM A PLACE THAT PLACES A SACRED BET UPON EVERY CASTING SET
I WITHHOLD ALL THE SECRETS OF EVERY NATION 


I AM A KIDNAPPER WHO HOLDS YOU CAPTIVE FROM YOUR LOVER
BLINDFOLDED AND LONELY YOUR MIND IS SPENT


I AM THE TEAR THAT FALLS FROM EVERY EYE
THE FEELING OF UNDEFINIANCE ,BUT THE SHADOW OF GUIDANCE


I AM THE MUGGER IN EVERY ALLEY WITHOUT THE ASSAULT
TAKING WHAT YOU WORKED FOR OR WORTH

THIS IS A VOICE OF THE UNTHINKABLE ,BUT THE REAL 
THEY EXIST SO LET THE SUSPICION REMAIN STILL
