Horns and beeps, and the ringing bells The world makes a rhythm that never ends Full of sound, it’s a shining and screeching And being out of sight, is the biggest lunacy So we’re whirling and crying under greedy eyes As the swirling day melts into the night
Constantly moving, without intent It’s a restless feeling, thats never content The sun sets, hidden, in the hazy sea The endless waves refuse to speak
It’s not the sounds outside that worry me but a silence within that’s never free
A constant rush and a gasp for breath, If we were quiet, our voices could be heard Afraid of stopping yet afraid to move Afraid of running out of things to do The silence is deafening as it screams It makes me face the shadow that’s hiding the dream
My minds a nervous swirl from the things unsaid With a sigh and a sway, I’m ready to fade I push away the monsters with a rising dread But the answer’s not in life, nor in (the) land of the dead
It’s not the sounds outside that worry me but a silence within that’s never free
