Gimme Silence

Weeds are pushing up through the floor
The shag carpet is up too the ceiling
Angry branches are banging against the door
Every living creature is kneeling
At a pinhead of sunlight in the wall
‘Cause every drop of sound has been stolen
I feel your fingers tapping upon my head
I can’t see you. .. my eyes are shut swollen
Opposing thumbs prove their worth
Tapping on the glass
They truncate the earth
Give me silence
Crack me open split my core
Remove this endless stream
Of information that I can’t use
I’m begging you to turn it off
Morphine oozes from every limb
It separates the blood from the rust
Indecision is spreading through your veins
You can’t break from this nuclear crust
We had a chance to keep it in the box
But curiosity pulled on the rope
The pandora inside you keeps looking down
‘Cause one day you might find some hope
Opposing thumbs prove their worth
Tapping on the glass
They truncate the earth
Give me silence
Crack me open split my core
Remove this endless stream
Of information that I can’t use
I’m begging you to turn it off
Overwhelmed by beauty
Watch the fireflies start spinning inside
Overwhelmed with desire
Until the static has nowhere to hide
