"'...won't pacify us now. He will pay for what happened just as he will pay for all of his sins.'"

The recited quote could barely be heard across room, but it resounded. The Driver picked up his head from his hands and took note.

"This civil unrest comes at a difficult time as rumors recently surfaced that the Provincial Governors have been convening in secret under executive authority."

The Driver sighed with joyless humor. "Of all the rumors to report on." The room creaked as he stood up to turn off the feed.

In the fresh silence he considered the beams of streetlight striking the floor. They were just barely able to glow the dust that happened through their path. To the Driver it appeared as if the particles disappeared outside of the rays. He supposed they were still there and with the right light he would see them, but the illusion held sway none the less...

Regardless, he thought to himself, if he were to be completely impartial, all that finding those particles would really prove is that they would be there if he looked for them.

The truth says the files understand
Yeah, truthfulness lies under written hand
The word above the doorway lets us know
The word is from my lips
I never spoke

It slips under your feet and grinds by stone
It runs along the floorboards in your home
It's like a metaphor for how we think
and when the grain is good we all believe

Patients try to live and never die
so they take the things doctors prescribe
Now what if they could really stave off death?
The soul will leave the body in the end
