Silence Is Golden

I wish that I could freeze time

Go to the wild

Soak up the quiet

Til I'm dripping wet with it

Then I would drive home

Go to my room

Wring myself out

That would be the end of it

Instead it's white noise

Sufferingly loud

It's wearing me down

I'm up to my ears in it

It's like a wave break

Into my head

Again and again

How are you not hearing it

The sound the sound the sound the sound

The sound the sound the sound the sound

I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Like a flock of birds flung out of the trees into the sky

Any sound will set me off

I'm gonna hurl now

Strapped to my seat and into the ride

Somebody please let me off

Maybe I'll break

Just shatter, disperse

Like cracks in a glass

And never hold a drink again

Hey there's a feedback making it worse

A million hertz

I can hear the ring again

The sound the sound the sound the sound

The sound the sound the sound the sound

I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

It's building to a siren screaming

It's building to a jet plane engine

Building to 6am construction

It's building and building and building until I can't function at all

Silence is golden is golden it's golden

Silence is golden is golden it's golden
