I don't wanna waste it
I threw it all on the line
And finally got a chance in hell
To make what I wanted, take what I needed
Searchin' for a miracle
But all that I could find was a crucible
And now I'm livin' in the decibels
The ringing in my ear inescapable
The pain is full
You can't turn it down
When the noise is all around
It's so hard to think
Drownin' in the sound
I know why you lay there still up
Wishing it would go away
But it's all too loud
For the waves in you to fade
A momentary silence
Like the lullaby whisper
Walkin' in a field of gold
I long to remember, go back forever
Tearin' up a part of me
Is all that I can do for my sanity
'Cause somehow I'm still my own enemy
On my own crusade out to set it free
Finally
You can't turn it down
When the noise is all around
It's so hard to think
Drownin' in the sound
I know why you lay there still up
Wishing it would go away
But it's all too loud
For the waves in you to fade
Don't tell me that the frequency is wrong
'Cause it's all I hear
Don't tell me that you heard it all along
'Cause I don't believe you
The chaos in the world won't let you go
Till you close your eyes
And let it pull you in the undertow
To your demise
You can't turn it down
When the noise is all around
It's so hard to think
Drownin' in the sound
I know why you lay there still up
Wishing it would go away
But it's all too loud
For the waves in you to fade
Can't stand it
Oh, I know why you lay there still up
But it's all too loud
