The Quiet Before Lyrics

"You ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up? You know that feeling...that the whole country is one inch away from saying, "That's it, forget it!" Think about it. Everything's polluted, the environment, the government, the schools, you name it. You out there? You listening?"
-Mark Hunter from Pump Up The Volume

"What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. you've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong in the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind."
-Morpheus from The Matrix
