Amanda Palmer - Drowning In The Sound lyrics
[Amanda Palmer - Drowning In The Sound lyrics]
You worship the sun and
You're aching for change
But, you keep starving your heart
You used to have sisters you don't anymore
You worship the sun
But, you keep feeding the dark
And I'm out in the yard
With my son and my daughter
And the sky is all black and
I think we should start running
Running from the water
And everybody's yelling
Yelling that they're coming
But, I don't see a single soul
They're all so busy yelling
Not one of them is hearing
The hissing from the bottom of the boat
I got some feelings up my sleeve
I got a compass in my arm
I got a needle in my heart
It's gonna tell us where we are
South by south west two miles from town
I can't get out i can't look down
If you can hear if you're around
I'm over here i'm over here
I'm watching everyone I love
Drowning in the sound
You worship the sun
But the moon's in the way
So get your armaments out
She's always looking for trouble
She's gonna get what's been coming to her
She's switching the tides and we
Can't have that shit around
The television, they're blaring out a warning
That our natural state is drowning
That our natural state is burning
And you're trying to help
And you're clicking for change
And you're calling it out
And you're adding your name
And you're marching for peace
But, you're lynching the bitch
That got up in your face
How else they gonna take it seriously?
South by south west two miles from town
I can't get out i can't look down
If you can hear if you're around
I'm over here i'm over here
I'm watching everyone I love
Drowning in the sound
And your body is a temple
And the temple is a prison
And the prison's overcrowded
And the inmates know it's flooding
And the body politic is getting
Sicker by the minute
And the media's not fake
It's just very inconvenient
Do you ever feel like this
Should be officially the end?
And that you should be the
One to do the ending, but you can't?
And do you ever feel that
Everyone is slowly letting go
Do you ever feel that, that incredibly alone?
And they're saying not to panic
And it's like a broken record
As if anybody knows what that is
And they're saying that we'll manage
It's the hottest one on record
And they're saying that that's just
The way it is now I can taste it coming
I can taste it with my tongue
And my children are so heavy
But, I pick them up and run
And I know I'll have to swim soon
When the water gets too high
I'll keep on holding them above me
I'll keep on holding them and crying
South by south west two miles from town
I can't get out i can't look down
If you can hear if you're around
I'm over here i'm over here
I'm watching everyone I love
Everyone I love everyone I love
Drowning in the sound
You worship the sun and
You're aching for change
But, you keep starving your heart
You used to have sisters you don't anymore
You worship the sun
But, you keep feeding the dark
You're aching for change
But, you keep starving your heart
You used to have sisters you don't anymore
You worship the sun
But, you keep feeding the dark
And I'm out in the yard
With my son and my daughter
And the sky is all black and
I think we should start running
Running from the water
And everybody's yelling
Yelling that they're coming
But, I don't see a single soul
They're all so busy yelling
Not one of them is hearing
