Nothing Is Sound

She turns like the ocean
She tells no emotion
She's been gunning down the fight

She's just reminiscing
Blood, sweat, and one thing's missing
She's been breaking up inside, inside

Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my desperation
I want more than my lonely nation

We are the target market
We set the corporate target
We are slaves of what we want
We're just numb and amused
And we're just used to bad news and
We are slaves of what we want

Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my desperation
I want more than my lonely nation

Lonely, lonely

Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired
Don't leave me hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
I'm tired of feeling low
Of feeling hollow
Feeling hollow
Feeling hollow

Singing without tongues
Screaming without lungs
I want more than my desperation
I want more than my lonely nation
Desperate we are young
Separate we are one
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation
I want more than my lonely nation

Maybe I've been the problem,
Maybe I'm the one to blame,
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same.

I've been thinking
Maybe I've been partly cloudy,
Maybe I'm the chance of rain.
And maybe I'm overcast,
Maybe all my luck's washed down the drain.

I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely.

Chorus:

But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars,
I see someone else.
When I look at the stars, the stars, I feel like myself.

Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain.
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives
Could pass as sane.
Ive been thinking about the meaning of resistance,
Of a world beyond my own,
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home.

I've been thinking about everyone,
Everyone, you look so empty

Chorus

Stars, stars
Everyone, everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, yeah, everyone, you feel so empty

But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself

When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone

Ah!

Everyone dies
Everyone loves a fight
Nothing is sound
Nothing is right side right
Evening comes, when the sun goes down in red
Nothing is cool
When will all the fighting end?
When will all the fighting end?

Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
It's empty as an argument
I'm running down a life that won't cash out (cash out)

Everything fails
Everything runs its course
A time and a place, for all of this love and war
Everyone buys, everyone's got a price,
And nothing is new
When will all the failures rise
When will us failures rise, rise!

Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
It's empty as an argument
I'm running down a life that won't cash out

Happy is a yuppie word
Blessed is the man who's lost it all
Happy is a yuppie word (word)

Looking for an orphanage
I'm looking for a bridge I can't burn down
I don't believe the emptiness
I'm looking for the kingdom coming down
Everything is meaningless
I want more than simple cash can buy
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie word
Happy is a yuppie…

Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound
Nothing is sound

Happy is a yuppie word
Nothing in the world could fail me now
Happy is a yuppie word (word)

So calm down, yeah!
So calm down, yeah!
So calm down, yeah!

Sunshine won't you be my mother
Sunshine come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are, crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, well

The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight, when

The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Oh Lord why did you forsake me?
Oh Lord don't be far away, away

Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord don't look the other way

We are, crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain, well

The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine


Shine on me
Let my shadows prove the sunshine

Ah La La La La La La
Ah La La La La La La

Sex is currency
She sells cars
She sells magazines
Addictive bittersweet, clap your hands
with the hopeless nicotines

Everyone's a lost romantic
Since our love became a kissing show
Everyone's a Casanova
Come and pass me the mistletoe

Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone

She, is easier than love
It's easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe

It’s easier leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?
Where is my soul?
(Numb)

Ah, la, la, la, la
La la la la la la la

Sex is industry
The CEO, of corporate policy
Skin-deep ministry
Suburban youth, hail your so-called liberty

Every advertising antic
Our banner waves with a neon glow
War and love become pedantic
We wage love with a mistletoe

Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone

She, is easier than love
It's easier than life lie
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe

It's easier leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?

Were is my soul?

Ah, la, la, la, la
(Yeah!)
La la la la la la la

La, la, la, la, oh
(Yeah!)
La, la, la, la, no!

It's easier than love
It's easier than love

It's easier than love
It's easier than love

She, is easier than love
It's easier than, love

Everyone's been scared to death of
Everyone's been scared to death of
Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone
Alone

(Sing)
It's easier than love
It's easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe

It's easier to leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?

Where is my soul? (Where is my?)
Where is my soul?

Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, no!

La, la, la, la, oh

Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?

Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the Kingdom or just a hit and miss?
I miss direction, most in all this desperation.

Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
For broken hearts and broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year
Or just another desperation?

You push until you're shoving
You bend until you break
'Til you stand on the broken fields where your fathers lay

It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is nothing here worth saving? Is there no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one when the sky falls down
And the hungry and poor and deserted are found.

Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now, nothing left to sing?
Are there any left who haven't kissed the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?

Does justice ever find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is OK until the world caves in
Until the world caves in
'Til the world caves in

Hey!
(Hey, hey)

Yeah, yeah! (soon)

Yeah, yeah! (soon)

I've got a wound that doesn't heal
Burning out again
Burning out again

I've not sure which of me is real
And I'm alone again
Burning out again

My hope runs underneath it all
The day that I'll be home

It won't be long, I belong
Somewhere past the setting sun

Find me free, find me strong
Somewhere back where I belong

Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)

They're selling shares of me again
But I'm not buying it
I'm not buying it

My wound goes deeper than the skin
There's no hiding it
So I'm not trying it

My hope runs underneath it all
The day that I'll be home

It won't be long, I belong
Somewhere past the setting sun
Find me free, find me strong
Somewhere back where I belong

Yeah, Yeah, (Somewhere past the setting sun)

Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)

Yeah, Yeah, (Going back where we belong)

Yeah, Yeah, (I'll find you)
(The setting sun!)

Let the weak say I am strong, and it won't be long
Let the rat say I was wrong, and it won't be wrong
Let us find where we belong
Beyond the setting sun
Beyond the setting sun

Yeah, Yeah

It won't be long, I belong
Somewhere past the setting sun
Find me free, find me strong
Somewhere back where I belong

Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)

Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)

(Oh!)
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is breaking down, breaking down

Everything is bleeding
Everything is bleeding
Everything is breaking down, breaking down

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me

Entropy and aching
Where have we been aiming?
Everything is fading out, fading out
We are the faded, splintered, and sedated
Everything is fading out, fading out

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without
politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
C'mon and break me

Oh oh!

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians,
politicians, politicians..

I am broken, I am bitter
I'm the problem, I'm the politician
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me
C'mon and break me

(Like freedom in spring)

She's alone tonight with a bitter cup and
She's undone tonight, she's all used up
She's been staring down the demons
Who've been screaming
She's just another so and so,
Another so and so

You are golden
You are golden child
You are golden
Don't let go
Don't let go tonight

There's a fear that burns like trash inside
And your shame the curse that burns your eyes
You've been hiding in the bedroom
Hoping this isn't how the story has to go
It's not the way it goes
It's your book now

You are golden
You are golden, Child
You are golden
Don't let go
Don't let go tonight

You're a lonely soul in a land of broken hearts
Your far from home, is a perfect place to start

(Yeah!)
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la


So this final verse is a contradiction
And the more we learn the less we know

We've been talking' about a feeling
We both know inside but couldn't find the words
I couldn't write this verse
I've seldom been so sure
About anything before

Golden
You are Golden, child

You are Golden
(Don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)

This world is a dead man down (Golden, you are)
Every breath is a singing crown we wear (Golden, Child, you are)
Like some debilitated king (Golden, don't let go)
(Don't let go tonight)

The Earth spins and your mind goes round (Golden, you are)
The green comes on the frozen ground (Golden, Child, you are)
And everything will be made new again (Golden)
Like freedom and spring (Golden, Golden)

Hey, like freedom and spring (Golden, you are, hey)
Like freedom and spring (Golden, Child, you are)
(Gold...)

I am the crisis
I am the bitter end
I'm gonna gun this down
I am divided
I am the razor edge
There is no easy now

Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let’s go down together
With the fatal wound

this is the real thing
No rubber bullets now
This is the final bow
My breath avoids me
My chest is in my head
My stomach's upside down
Down

Son of sorrow
Staring down forever
With an aching view
Disenchanted
Let’s go down together
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound
With the fatal wound

Check!

Tonight

Tonight

I'll rise
I'll fall
I'll fail you all

We built these cities to stand so tall
We've lost our walls

I don't want to lose you coming down
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in now
With the whole world upside-down

We are one, tonight
And we're singing it out
We are one, tonight
And we're dreaming out loud

And the world is flawed
But these scars will heal

We are one, tonight!
Tonight!
Tonight!

Two eyes
One tongue
I've come
Undone

I'm no victim
I paid these dues
I came to lose

I don't want to fight about it now
With the whole world upside-down
I don't have a soul to trust in, now
With the whole world upside-down

We are one, tonight
And we're singing it out
We are one, tonight
And we're dreaming out loud

And the world is flawed
But these scars will heal

We are one, tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

I don't want to lose a common ground
With the whole world upside-down
I don't want to fight about it now
And the world was burning out

Let's slow the evening down
Slow it down
Slow down
Please slow down
Down
Down

The stars are coming out

We are one
We are one
We are one
We are one tonight
We are one tonight
And were singing it out (tonight)
We are one tonight
And were dreaming out loud (tonight, we are one)
And the world is flawed (we are one)
But these scars will heal (tonight, tonight)
(Still fighting it out)
(We’re still fighting it out)
(Still fighting it out)

Daisy, give yourself away
Look up at the rain
A beautiful display
Of power and surrender
Giving us today
When she gives herself away

Rain, another rainy day
Comes up from the ocean
Give herself away
She comes down easy
On rich and debt the same
When she gives herself away

Let it go
Daisy, let it go
Open up your fists
This fallen world
Doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Pain, give yourself a name
Call yourself contrition
Avarice or blame
Giving isn't easy
And neither is the rain
When she gives herself away

Daisy, why another day
Why another sunrise
Who will take the blame
For all redemptive motion
And every rainy day
When he gives himself away

Let it go
Daisy, let it go
Open up your fists
This fallen world
It doesn't hold your interest
It doesn't hold your soul
Daisy, let it go

Let it go...

Let it go [repeated]
