The Sound

Oh, if I only had an ocean to compliment the sky
I'd pull it down and paint it for you
And never question why
'Cause red would mean you loved me
And blue would mean you cared
But black my heart when left alone
To cold and killing stares

But this is the burning of a dream
This is the burning of a dream

The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again

Feels like I'm waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Hangman's noose tight 'round my neck
But I'm saved
And for one hundred thousand memories
Been washed ashore
Be swept again by forever
Sailed away from you

Now that the rain has ended
So the sun (so the sun) can shine through me

The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again

Only you could row my boat ashore (only you could row)
Only you could set my fears at rest (only you could set my fears at rest)
But until the lack of sympathies regress
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
For your call

The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again
