Underneath the dark marquis   The smoke has finally cleared   And though the street is quiet   My blood beats loud inside my arteries      Is this your best design?   All that stood now lays in ruin   Well you’ve finished your scaffolding   But on me for strength it must rely      I’ve been written off    I’ve been written off before      We handed them our voices   Just in time to hear them say farewell   We just wanted to be counted   Bodies pressed together, arms held aloft      I yell for myself   And I yell it out of fear   At the last abandoned payphone   Well someone’s calling but the ringing no one hears      I’ve been written off    I’ve been written off before      We handed them our voices   Just in time to hear them say farewell   We just wanted to be counted   Bodies pressed together, arms held aloft      Well I’m ashamed by what it takes to appease myself   At least I stood in line just like everybody else   We just wanted to be counted   Bodies pressed together, arms held aloft
