Persons Unknown.
This is a message to persons unknown
Persons in hiding. Persons unknown
Survival in silence
Isn't good enough no more
Keeping your mouth shut head in the sand
Terrorists and saboteurs
Each and every one of us
Hiding in shadows persons unknown

Hey there Mr. Average
You don't exist you never did
Hiding in shadows persons unknown
Habits of hiding
Soon will be the death of us
Dying in secret from poisons unknown
This is a message to persons unknown

Hope to go unrecognized
Keeping your secrets persons unknown

She sounds like a prophet.

@adeworks However, we are all the own heroes/heroines of our individual existence.. we have to find one issue that we as our own person are compelled to right, to justify our own lives.. to provide meaningful validation that our lives have merit. Chose something that inspires you to passionate action.. and act truthfully.

@bristolcityifcation I would love to live during that time, there are no more bands that have a message like that, punk is dead and there is noone who would try to revive it.
