You don't hear me yell to test the quiet or try to shake / the wall, for I understand that the wrong sound weakens / what no sound could ever save, and I am the one / to live by the hum that shivers till the world can sing:-- / May my voice hover and wait for fate, / when the right note shakes everything.
--from "Believer"
