There is a consistently loud noise that the world makes
That constantly drowns me out
If it wasn't for this noise
You might have heard my voice
Trying to boil water by yelling at it
But it's me that does the boiling
I heat up quicker than the flame
That is not turned on under the water
Don't need your attention but it'd be nice to have
You do not need my noise but it would be quite the asset
You're open ears will be our shelter from the open air
I sing to find the JUSTice to bring a WANTed criminal TO trial
I BElieve I HEARD him mass-producing predecessors' styles
Bounty hunting, I had to ground myself to see I'm not ABOVE denial
And turn my weapon on myself because THE NOISE defile is I.
The undeserving steal halos from heroes while they sleep
To fight back, the heroes slice away their eyelids
And fall into deep alerted-ness
Amazing these steps taken
To keep a neon sign of your importance
Screaming at all different speeds and
They meet the ears that they're aimed at
The hum is playing defense, deflecting all my attempts
I can't find a hole in this wall
The sound that gets reflected resonates on impact
And catches a few passing ears
And that's victory enough
In this fight for volume...
Hearing yourself in a crowded room - volume.
So many of us trying to make noise where it already,
We need to make holes in it So many of us trying to make noise where
It already, we need to make holes in it So many of us trying to make
Noise where it already,
We need to make holes in it So many of us trying to make noise where
It already, we need to make holes in it So many of us trying
To make noise where it already, we need to make holes in it...

In a dream all the things that deserve it would get the proper respect
Not get bludgeoned to death by useless information
Great things get lost in the fight to be heard,
But the stronger ones spring up from
The ashes ready to breed in the airwaves
Ye-ah-eah-eah In the airwaves... yeah...
In a dream all the things that deserve it would get the
Proper respect not get bludgeoned to death by useless information.
