lyrics

Flashing lights and siren screams
Every minute a person dies
Some people hold their hands to their ears
Some just close their eyes
I want to run till I can’t be found
then I’ll bury my head in the ground
wherever I lose myself
to be safe from all the sound around me

The train’s delayed, a woman’s here
asking for money while the raindrops dry
But then there’s always a reason
to just ignore the cries
“I left my wallet at home” again,
an excuse as sweet as Amen
I always just lie to them
to be safe from all the sound around me

Pressures, pleasures
They all just blend together
I can’t feel anything
My heartbeat sounds like a timer
who knows what happens when it ends?

Leaving work with music on
Turn it up till my blood goes thin
I know I’ll never be lonely
I’ve got my headphones in
Till the darkness just falls away
til the light breaks out from the grey
I’d never complain again
to be safe from all the sound around me

Libera me domine
de morte aeterna
libera me domine
