The Sound

Staring at the clock and counting down It's ticking talking through the crowded air And drowning all the thoughts inside my brain A simple, sacred metronome A siphon, sipping down the moments A constant proof that nothing escapes And I can see the whole world Melt away, melt away in the sound I feel the fractures growing wide And I'm falling through As all my reasoning unwinds Beneath the truth In the waves, we toss and turn And pretend our words protect us from the fall But in the end we will return To the earth, like we were never here at all We're digging deeper We're digging deeper We're digging deeper We're digging deeper And I can see the whole world Melt away, melt away in the sound
