VOICE
Little Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An act of violence conducted by free will
But I'll answer all the questions
I'll look at your face
And try to gauge your expression
Into the God of the angular
I am the which one of this things is not like the others
Yeah, I'm gonna give you my voice
I know that nothing comes free
I weight the cost and the reaction that comes to me
Oh, I can die for wanted affection
But I'd die in the Sun
Hoping everyone would look in my direction
Into the God of the angular
I am the which one of this things is not like the others
And I'm gonna give you my voice
Yeah, I'm gonna give you my voice
Yeah, I'm gonna give you my voice
Yeah, I'm gonna give you my voice
