Your Soul Is All That I Hear (One Take)

They say be steel, be iron And if you can't, then hide it I know a broken smile when I see one Everyone thinks it's energy to kill I think you've mastered using willpower And singing loud in the shower To bury all of the fear But your soul is all that I hear And it says can you hold me While I'm crying inside? I cover the silence With the applause and the sirens I think I'm passing away All in front of a live audience In this role I embodied I stifled everything Probably put cracks in the veneer But your soul is all that I hear Your soul is all that I hear Don't put on a face I know it's a learned behaviour And love is not a feeling I feel When it's convenient, but still Your soul is all that I hear It doesn't matter Synthesize your sunshine over The counter Make habits out of the patterns Oh, if it helps us forget I have prescriptions for dopamine Unified ammunition To combat all of the visions Hallucinations and fears But your soul is all that I hear Don't put on a face I know it's a learned behaviour And love is not a feeling I feel When it's convenient, but still Your soul is all that I hear Don't put on a face I know it's a learned behaviour And love is not a feeling I feel When it's convenient, but still Your soul is all that I hear Your soul is all that I hear Your soul is all that I hear Your soul is all that I hear They say be steel, be iron And if you can't, then hide it I know a broken smile when I see one
