Dual Core - Painting Pictures lyrics

I gotta share this story 'cause
It brightened my world
Our main character is an amazing little girl

Wide-eyed, observant
And taking in everything
Plus the biggest smile that
Anyone had ever seen

Happy as could be, it didn't make sense
'Cause this little girl was
Surrounded by silence

All through, audio masked, like a costume
No sound either way, ergo, no volume

Never said a word, never made a noise
In fact
She'd never even heard her parents voice

But they loved her exactly the same


Nothing fancy
Can't overestimate the value of a family

Taught her how to sign, write the alphabet
And read and showed me that special needs
Make a special breed

Hands down, agreed
Best money they ever spent
Was getting a computer and
Connection to the internet

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've
Grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time
As the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're
Gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait
We're only scratching the surface

Technology's impact can be so profound
Having conversations without the
Need for sound

Engaging was easy as now she had a choice
'Cause online the internet gave her a voice

Plus she discovered that she's very artistic
Designs illustrations showing how
She's gifted

Scrolls and uploads to community posts
And gets all the downloads and popular votes

And still loves reading, research
And learning her fire for knowledge
It never stops burning

She comes across an article about an advance
The cochlear implant would give her a chance
Reverse and unearth a whole
World she's never heard
Connect a couple wires and
Activate the nerves

This gift that we're given, for her
Would be priceless
Explore the other side of this
Curtain made of silence

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've
Grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time
As the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're
Gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait
We're only scratching the surface

She met with the doctors and
Planned all of it out
Insurance came through and they
Paid the whole amount

Now I believe in miracles
I'll honestly confess
Impressed, the surgery had ended in success

Confused by the very first
Sounds that she hears
In therapy for years while
Adjusting to her ears hit a couple barriers
She's overcoming all of it
Dedicated, working every day
With audiologists

Plus she's an optimist, still got that smile
It's even bigger now
Grin is wider than a mile

Talking to her parents
Such a great influence
Speaking with her friends even
Getting into music

Grooving to some nerdcore and
Hearing all the fun she's a dual core fan
Favorite album's zero one

But that might change with the
Song that you're witnessing
I mean this sincerely: thank
You for listening

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've
Grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time
As the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're
Gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait
We're only scratching the surface

In new technology, I'm placing all my trust
'Cause this is the science I've
Grown to know and love

Discoveries and research with time
As the offset
Moving so fast just imagining the progress

Endless possibilities, the future isn't clear
Can't wait to see where we're
Gonna go from here

With meaning, ambition, drive, and a purpose
Just you wait
We're only scratching the surface
