Hidden Song

[[

The world used to be silent
Now it has too many voices
And the noises are constant distraction

They multiply, intensify
They will divert your attention from what's convenient
And forget to tell you about yourself

We live in an age of many stimulations
If you are focused, you are harder to reach
If you are distracted, you are available

You are distracted, you are available
You want flattery
Always looking to where it's at
You want to take part in everything
And everything to be a part of you

Your head is spinning faster at the end of your spine
Until you have no face at all
And yet if the world would shut up, even for a while

Perhaps we will start hearing the distant rhythm
Of an angry young tune
And recompose ourselves
Perhaps having deconstructed everything

We should be thinking about putting everything back together

Silence yourself!

*Too many to convince*
Too many *to hire*
And *nothing you ever own*
The world's a *dead sorry hole*
*And I'm cold, and I'm cold
And I'm cold, and I'm stubborn*
*I'm sick and keep it open wide
And speaking words to the blind*

Speaking words to the blind
*Speaking words*, oh

And *the soul of the pure*
And the eyes of *the lover*
And the one who truly saw your soul
And *the one who truly saw your soul*

*I'm the one, who truly saw your soul*
I'm the one, who truly saw your soul

And if you tell me to shut up
I would tell you to shut it
*Did you tell me to shut up?*
Oh if you tell me to shut it
*I'll shut it now*

Young, just born
*Fragile and trembling soul
You hold it to the light
That pours down the moon at night
You kept on holding it
You kept on holding it
It was a dangerous thing to do*
But you did it *when no one knew*
*When the eyes were closed*
And the people were asleep

*Not an animal
Not a human
Not a soul
Not a soul*

And if you tell me to shut up
I would tell you to shut it
Did you tell me to shut up?
Oh if you tell me to shut it
I'll shut it now

I am a breaker of ocean
Leaden like a bullet to the sun
I am a breaker of ocean
Leaden like a bullet to the sun, to the sun, to the sun
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun
I am a breaker of ocean
Leaden like a bullet to the sun
I am a breaker of ocean
Leaden like a bullet to the sun, to the sun, to the sun
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun

I am a breaker of ocean
Leaden like a bullet to the sun, to the sun, to the sun
To the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun, to the sun
