Lyrics :

Too many voices
It won't take long
Which one's right
Which one's wrong
Yours is most likely
To be misunderstood
Screaming in tongues
On the top of my lungs
Til I find you
Til you found me
Somehow I always knew that you would

And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head
And what you said
Is ringing
Ringing faster

And it's all good
If you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could
Just realize
It doesn't really matter 3x

If I could touch the sound of silence now
You know I would if I knew how
To make these intentions come around
I'm hearing without listening
And believing every word
You are not saying
Speaking without a sound

And I am contemplating matters
All this cling and clatter
In my head
And what you said
Is ringing
Ringing faster

And it's all good
If you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could
Just realize
It doesn't really matter 3x

Trapped inside of these four walls
Walking brainless muppet dolls
Mushroom face beneath the tangles
Bleeding silhouette inside
Dancing like an angel would

And it's all good
If you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could
Just realize
It doesn't really matter 3x
And it's all good
If you would
Stop the world from making sense
And if I could
Just realize
It doesn't really matter 2x
All this cling and clatter
