Dual Core - Hear Them Talking lyrics

Things are quiet now, it was making me insane Do my best with the details, forget about my name It was chance, i'm no man to be admired I just took a stance, wouldn't say i was inspired Kept to myself in every situation prior Used to work with computers but was forced to retire Fled my homeland in a swift act of bravery For now, we'll say the full story is escaping me ;] Either way it came to be Caught a plane to the states free, so it's plain to see I don't need attention so i try to be neighborly But this guy across the hall is making it hard I hear dishes being broken, doors being slammed The screams carry through the walls, the echoes expand His wife and her son, and that half of a man Then there's me, feeling powerless, creating a plan Yo, i hear them talking The voice in my heaad, is saying use caution These walls are too thin, so i've got no other option Now i hear them yelling Fend for themselllves, well there's no telling God help us, maybe i can help them One day in the hallway, here's where the story's from In a zone, sitting all alone is the son A look of hope from the code that he talks about I could tell that he knows that he's found his way out We spent months online showing all the tricks i knew From sql injection to overflows and root And exploit development, encrypted tunnels too The kid was a natural, he knew just what to do The student pa**ed the teacher, admiring his hacks Formed a common bond, he confided in our chats He told me he would run if he had no other way And that he got hit for anything, even bad grades So he stayed, endured *things* people shouldn't Stayed safe in his brain with his bones beaten crooked _ No idea how he took it, and just played along I'll always remember, their son's name was john Yo, i hear them talking The voice in my heaad, is saying use caution These walls are too thin, so i've got no other option Now i hear them screaming Continued in the morning what had started in the evening Everybody trapped, meaning nobody's leaving Now, on that day, there's no return from school Turn the tv on and there's john on the news He and two friends got caught in their haste To attack the school's database and get grades replaced John's friends took their sentence from the state But the judge thought he was lenient in giving john his fate They gave him house arrest in the verdict that was published But john was well aware of the extent that he'd be punished His parents took custody, basically a curse After that he disappeared, had me fearing for the worst The father was the suspect, convicted in the end Saddened and a**umed we'd never hear of john again Months turned to years and the odds grew further slim Then yesterday i got a note, i knew it was from him The normal stack of mail but this one card differed It had two words and they said, "thanks viktor" Yo, i hear them talking The voice in my heaad, is saying use caution These walls are too thin, so i've got no other option Now i'm hearing nothing The burden of the silence and the memories it summons Another satellite liberated by a russian Please let me see you put your fist up Always fare well when determined not to give up
