Calm down
Shut up
World needs clamped shut
Why is it so loud
Why is it so soft
The world's deafening
And I'm still lost
I hear a candle burning
I hear feet churning
And yet I can't hear
Lifeline cut with shears
So loud and chaotic
I feel so at home
But then the silence comes
And I feel so alone
The world is deafening
I hear click clack
In a dance
I hear a tornado
In every gust
I can no longer hear
Cheeks stained by tears
Lifeline cut with shears
Where is the order
Where is the blaze
Can't see through this haze
And yet I still face
The deafening world
To loud for me
The world is deafening
Surely I should see
But this haze be covering me
So I can't find my way
Rattle those chains
Drums beat to this old march
Salute to the sarge
Ready the charge
But we're going the wrong way
I can't find my way
I think I need hearing aids
So rattle those chains
So maybe it's just me
Maybe I should just let it be
But the world is
DEAFENING
