I am the hot mic, I pick up asides, of the modern tyrant 
Laws of the shadows, colors of justice, I don't know what it meant 
How patriotism is now enough and it's powerful stuff 

Can we get it quiet enough? In here, I can hear god, the cat's paws cross the keys
Or the wish tomorrow is, but a whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees 

I am the hot mic, the war room is dead, janitors move in 
Talking of their dark doors, their enchanted paths, I don't know what they meant 
How with something to fall back on, yeah, people usually do
Hit the lights, kill the room

Can we get it quiet enough? In here, I can hear god, cat paws along the keys
And the wish tomorrow is, but a whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees 

I'm not afraid of convincingness, I'm just uncertain for sure
I'm in awe of no one, I'm made for this, teach me what to want 

I am the hot mic, I pick up asides of Dawn, The Tyrant 
He's coming from the shadows, feeling being seen, I don't know what he meant 
I don't guess, I listen, it's more than enough, it's powerful stuff 

Can we get it quiet enough in here so I can hear God
A cat walk cross the keys 
Hit notes so lonely it's one whisper from your lips and I fall to my knees 

I'm not afraid of convincingness, I'm just uncertain for sure 
I'm in awe of no one, I'm made for this, teach me what to want 
And though I'm not yet earnest enough, not unblinkingly sincere 
I'm over here 

I overhear you 
And I always hear you
