No Anthems

I'm the locust 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 the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
 You should really look down
 There is a road block 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 could change most everything
 I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
 That sang the song of me
 But now there are no anthems
 All I can hear is the echo, and the ring
 I'm the sidewinder watching how to cut you down
 I don't say a word
 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, freak you on your way to go
 Behind the scenes
 I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
 That 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 could change most everything
 I'm not the anthem, I once was an anthem
 That 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, I'm singin' an answer
 An answer and a voice
 To feel rhythm in silence, a weapon, not violence
 Power, power, source
