lyrics

I wanted to drown out the silence
To clutter my head from outside instead
Wanted to fill up every corner
And leave not a space to contemplate

I packed my bags, ran towards the bellow
Of engines and horns that grumble and roar
But in the hum there is no solace
Relief is a bride for whom to fight

I longed to hear some quiet, but then it came a cruel blow
And so I ran back to the noise, to mute the silence
Turn down the silence

There is a road outside my window
The wheels never cease to keep me from sleep
I've not the courage to escape it
My head's in a spin without its din, I cannot win

I longed to hear some quiet...

We are always on our own
Even when surrounded by a thousand souls
There is no lull in between what's inside and outside of the wall

I long to hear some quiet
I cannot hear the quiet...
