White Noise
In the white noise of everything I heard voices still trying to sing Who were they what they say what was lost was it worth all the fuss of it I don't know maybe so
We stole the quiet from there eyes While it was still just a spark Oh and we minded for what it was worth wasn't much, wasn't much find another pair of lights 'cause no machine is ever free
You had a faced bullet proof sort of world view now it's bent it's bent it's bent You used to say you know exactly where you're off to now you can't you can't you can't You make your mark in everything cause you don't know where you are You've been swearing up and down you knew your way but now you're back at the start
So you shed your former shell for a new one And find the appropriate dress Now the way you only listen is with those big words you know that they're meaningless You think the more they know your name cause you don't know who you are you've been swearing up and down, you know your way but now you're back at the start Don't feel bad you're like the rest of us
The pattern moves on and we realize we're all strangers nothing binding us now except our habits and scowls and our off-hand... so we try and close our books and put an end to endless chapters looking up to wake up the same then not even complain ? and we do it all again
but oh that's not me not this time i won't fall in the line i'm gonna cut a different path if it kills me no, I'm not sold I won't roll with the punches again I'd rather take a couple hits then lay back on this one
we make our mark in everything cause we don't know where we are we're always swearing up and down we know the way but wind up back at the start and in hindsight it's all secular
You spread your rusty fingers across the ledge.
You get your grip and peer down over the edge.
You watch the city move and breathe and migrate.
You're not apart of it. You're broken now, like us.
I turn and brush the birds from off my shoulders.
And cross side-walks with an earful of white noise.
You sit up on your perch for the rest of the night.
You watch the moon and hope the damn thing crumbles. 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網
You count the stars reflecting in the windows.
And then you realize just how minimal you are.
I stop and watch the airplanes leave the city.
And I silently wish I was on one.
You sit down slow and watch yourself in the glass.
You reach inside and tear out all your cables.
Snakes of smoke are dripping from your fingers.
You have no body, just a cage to hold your parts.
I have no answers; I'm rambling.
I was never one to solve whatever has gone wrong.
You lie down on the roof and watch the sun rise.
Its burning fingers rummage through your insides.
And for a moment you feel like youÂ're alive.
And then itÂ's gone, so you get up.
Up, up, baby. ThereÂ's blood on the sidewalks of this town.
TheyÂ've got us on the ropes. But we donÂ't have to take it lying down anymore.
Our hands arenÂ't tied now.
Down, down, baby. Down in the in the center of this town.
TheyÂ've got Â'em buried deep.
Under layers of concrete are the bones of our past.
(Oh no, no)
WeÂ'll leave on the evening train.
It wonÂ't be long, but it feels that way.
But home never meant very much to us anyway.
So we convince ourselves that weÂ're better off gone.
And maybe weÂ're right.
And we collapse on a road.
On an old dirt road, where the sun doesnÂ't look like such a waste.
And we fall asleep, under leaves of a couple of them nearby tress.
And we never wake again.
