And wide are your delusions,
Deep red is the space behind your eyes,
Closed forever is the door to your troom,
But inside there lives the sound,
You despise,
But I love...
Mother, I was wrong.
Lady-
And if you want eternity, oh I am not that strong,
But as long as there's you and me,
I'll hold you in my arms.
So won't you be my lady, I'll give you what I can,
Won't you be my lady, and I will be your man,
And I can't give you wealth or fame, or statues in your name,
Oh, but I can give you love.
And I can't promise you the sky, or the ground on which we stand,
But we can walk along its shorelines,
And draw a heart down in the sand.
Won't you be my lady, I'll give you what I can,
Won't you be my lady, and I will be your man,
And I can't give you wealth or fame, or statues in your name,
Oh, but I can give you love.
Love... Love...Love...
And if that diamond ring don't shine,
I'm a gonna sing you a lullaby,
And if that lullaby ain't sweet,
Oh listen to words I sing.
So won't you be my lady, I'll give you what I can,
Won't you be my lady, and I will hold your hand,
And I could give you joy and pain, and flowers in the rain,
And I will give you love.
Love... Love...Love...
So won't you be my lady, I'll give you what I can,
Won't you be my lady, Oh...
And I can't give you wealth or fame, or statues,
But I can give you love...

They're fading fast, all of the memories. Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me. I can't remember because it hurts too much to remember. I shut myself off. I shut it out. I disappeared. I couldn't get out of this self-destruction. Hating myself and anyone that came near me. I can't remember.
I don't want to face where I've been. Now I'm facing the cost cause I was dead to everything. Afraid of the image staring back at me. By the horror on your face I knew I'd hate what I'd fucking see. Blinded by the pain, I let the years slip through my hands. Just bury me in the sound. Sink or swim, I'll just fucking drown. And I can't remember.
Sometimes it fills you up/ most times it lets you down.
Right when we woke up/ there was nothing much on around.
Do you remember the sound?
A pervert and a priest/ were swimming in the yeast
Well the sick kid, Jim, said, “yr soul’s so thin”/ “there’s a slick skim upon your skin”
Father replied, “Well, I never eat.”
You can blame yourself/ or name everyone else
Why try to hang on to anyone else?/ It’s a hard enough time just trying to hang
yourself
I said “Why would I try to hang on to anyone else?”
I had a hard enough time just trying to hang myself
Most times it wants you back/ right when you let it go
Right when we woke up, everything was blown
Kid you’ll never know
And you can blame yourself/ or name everyone else
I’m just trying to hang myself
Right when we woke up
Everything was dying down
Do you remember the sound?
Please forgive me
If I come on too strong.
I get a little anxious
When I talk about God's love.
Hold me back now,
Stop me if I start to preach,
'Cause I don't want to be the one
To push you out of reach.
The way to give love
Is how you live love;
That is what I'll do.
You cannot fight it,
You can't deny it.
Love will get to you.
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love;
Just wanna show you love.
Love, love, love.
I won't convince you
With anything I say.
But maybe you will see His love
In how it is portrayed.
An act of kindness,
A loving sacrifice;
Simple little things that have
The pow'r to change your life.
There's no surprises
And no disguises;
Just the blessed truth.
No obligations,
No complications;
Just a gift for you.
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love;
Just wanna show you love.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love's gonna get you.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Love's gonna get you.
The way to give love
Is how you you live love;
That is what I'll do.
You cannot fight it,
And you can't deny it.
Love will get to you. (Get to you)
Don't wanna get up in your face,
Don't wanna put the pressure on,
Don't wanna make you run away,
Just wanna show you love.
Don't wanna beg you to believe,
Don't wanna take you for a ride,
Don't wanna sell you anything,
Just wanna show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love,
Show you love.
Live love, that's how you give love.
Live love, that's how you give love.
Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh (ba dum).
You can hear it when you open your eyes
(Darkness falls on everyone)
Let he who's free of sin
Cast the first stone on everyone
We all lose in the end
(So load up your guns and shoot at the wind)
In this life we know we cant win
So bite the hand that holds you down
[Chorus:]
We can't, we won't [x2]
Fight for the lives of politicians
This time we fight for change
We can't, we won't [x2]
Fight for the lies that murdered children
We are the ones that scream, No!
Addicted to your emotionless drugs
(And hooked on bleached personalities)
This is the end of an era
So burn it down and rebuild new
Children with no eyes to see
(Mothers too scared to tell the truth)
In this sickness we prevail
Its the only way to lead ourselves
[Chorus]
The pain you see is the sound
Of a generation screaming
Out for change
And we fight their dream
Dance, dance
To the sound of a world on fire
Dance, dance to the sound
This is the sound
This is the sound of change
We'll watch the snow drift down tonight
Beneath the hand of Midwest lights
We'll watch the snow drift down tonight
The sound, the music, it's Christmastime
I won't forget the moment
You looked at me and said
"in years when we get older
Will you be someone colder?
No one could love so deeply
As I feel you love me now
We built a life from weakness
And joy welled up from sadness
Our love could not burn brighter
A furnace in our chests
Will you be someday colder?
Love can't be more than this"
As long as the sound will carry me
Towards the sands that could swallow me
La la la la
As long as the sound will carry me
Towards the sands that could swallow me
As long as my shadow will die
The next crossroad leaving me
Gazing at the moon
As long as my shadow will reach the next crossroad
On the blank lines ring the words right
Sing the same things for the new fight
Did you forget? I give it my best but only walk the worst
And when the song rings through your new skin, will you listen
I will go back to the sound
With good luck, with good luck
If you keep the backbeat down
With good luck, with good luck
On the same lines it's about time
Curse the sad site of your white trite and it's always the same
I give it away but it just comes right back
But when the song rings through your new skin, will you listen?
I will go back to the sound
With good luck, with good luck
If you keep the backbeat down
With good luck, with good luck
I will go back to the sound
With good luck, with good luck
If you keep the backbeat down
With good luck
I will go back to the sound
I will go back to the sound
I will go back to the sound
For a long time
I've had this on my mind
Not willing to change my life for your approval
But I'll take pride
And I'm aware of changing tides
And time we all know
Will wait for no one
I said I ain't gonna pay my money
To hear the same old sound
Not after all these years
With my ear to the ground
I would have thought you got the picture
From the first time around
I said I ain't gonna pay my money
To hear the same old sound
This is the sound
Of the people living in the moment
Listen up, listen up
Just look around
This is life right here as I know it
Listen up, listen up
The feeling's growing by the hour
And you can try to talk us down
But truth fears no trial
In life
This happens all the time
Just when you think you know where you are
They move the road signs
I said I ain't gonna be no fool
For some government plans
And stop thinking for myself
And put my life in their hands
While they're living off the blood
Of the honest man
And I ain't waiting till I'm dead
To see no promised land
And how ready are you to leave to past behind?
How ready are you?
Got nothing left but it ain't bringin' me down
I'm just gonna follow the sound
And the sound is pleasing
When it sounds like it is breathing
There's no one around
To hear the notes falling down
Nobody seems to care
The feeling isn't there
Like it was all a bad dream
Now we're looking everywhere
You keep searching
You keep on searching
Got nothing left but it ain't bringin' me down
I'm just gonna follow the sound
That ringing in my ears
Oh whats that sound
It's the cold death knell
Of the big ships bell
See the strings unwound
See them lying on the ground
Can't pick up your guitar
Cause you've forgotten the sound
We'll keep searching
Keep on searching
Got nothing left but it ain't bringin' me down
Madman in the dark
Waits to choose a mark
He hears the sound
He hears it pound
Disorder fills his mind
He seeks but never finds
He set down to kill
He no longer feels
He hears the sound
He hears it pound
Can you hear the sound
Can you hear it pound
Does it fill your brain
Driving you insane
Does it bleed in your ears
Transfixing your fears
Does it sear thru your head
Demanding to be fed
Can you hear the sound
Can you hear it pound
Your bred of despair
You no longer care
You can hear the sound
You can hear it pound
With a bloody cry
With murderous eyes
It leads you on and on
Your mind is gone
You can hear the sound
You can hear it pound
-------------------------------
You know the sound
It carries you into
The new
You are the burden
That you
Call life
Not feeling right
Look at the sound
We know the score
We want more
Tied up twisted
And burned out
Waiting for you
No one seems to care
At all
I make it up
As I go along
Still feeling wrong
It's such a shame
You're not around
To hear the sound
No one thinks to call
At all
To bed I'm drifting with you
To bed I'm drifting home
Boom... The Static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Ooooh
Ooooh
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can’t drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a holy nation
We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Oooh
Oooh
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
This is the sound of a heartbeat
this is the sound from the discontented mouths
of a holy nation
we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking down
Down
Down
Down
Let it rise above
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation, we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our condition, we are the voice of breaking down
This is the sound
If I only had an ocean to compliment this sky
Id pull it down, Id paint it for you and never question why
Cause red would mean you love me
And blue would mean you care
And black my heart were left to those with cold uncaring stares
This is the burning of a dream
This is the burning of a dream
The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Not to see the volume rise again
Feels like im waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Hang this noose around my neck but im saved
For one hundred thousand memories wash ashore
Be swept away by forever
Sail away from you
Now the rain has ended
So the sun can shine through me
The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Not to see the volume rise again
Only you could row my boat ashore
And only you could set my fears at rest
Couldn't see the lack of sympathies regress
I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting for your grace
The sound now turns to silence
But I keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
And im closing everyone elses eyes
Because you rowed ashore
Hear the Sound? I want that Sound, Hallelujah
I'll wear that Sound out, Hear it again...
Hear the Sound? I want that Sound, Hallelujah,
I'll wear that Sound out, Hear it again...
People will I be willing?
I don't know if luxury is such a goal
Say, have you an aversion to investing in a soul?
You can all make a killing, but I don't know about
this planet anymore...
You can hear that Sound if you want that Sound
Aware that Sound might heal you again
You can hear that Sound if you want that Sound
Aware that Sound might heal you again, I mean...
Hear the Sound? I want that Sound, Hallelujah,
I'll wear that Sound out, Hear it again...
Avarice is nutrition?
I don't know a metaphor for any meal
You compare an epiphany to the ringing of a till
Earn a life, earn a livivg, I don't know
Read Matthew 19:23
You can hear that Sound if you want that Sound
Aware that Sound might heal you again, I mean...
Hear the Sound? I want that Sound, Hallelujah,
I'll wear that Sound out, Hear it again...
It's the same thing
That I can only ask about
I can only think to say
Yeah, I can only see
But it's not the words, it's the sound
We sink our words deep in the dark
And we're down, down, down
It's not the same thing
Yeah, we can only cast about
I feel the hate
But it's not the words, it's the sound
We bring them deep in the ground
We're not alone
Instrumental
But it's that kind of pain
That disobeys and stays
Seems darkness moves faster
Than the light
What will you find friend?
You're such a fine friend
I've seen the fllowers grow in your light
What will you find friend?
You're such a fine friend
I've seen the fllowers grow in your light
But it's not the words, it's the sound
We bring them deep in the ground
Down, down, down and down
But it's not the words, it's the sound
We bring them deep in the ground
Down, down, down and down
