lyrics

The whole world is sound
Dragging me up, pulling me down
An always shifting ground
Try to hold it, try to pin it down'

I want to share this with you
It almost tears me in

Two minds I talk around
One I talk up, the other talk down
Which one will win this round?
The one that's screaming or the one laying down?

I know now
It's nothing new
It's something
We all go through

The sound is quiet, deep down inside
Saying something's not right
You love the bright lights
Your sound's not quiet
So where does it hide?
Don't be going quiet

I thought I was ground down
Time to give in, time to get out
But it goes round and round
While I'm breathing there will be sound

I know now
That this is true
It's something
We'll always do
