Switchfoot - Sound lyrics

rate me

The static comes in slow<br />

You can feel it grow<br />

Our stream of conscience flows<br />

Under the streets below<br />

<br />

The rivers made of sound<br />

Still running underground<br />

Runs like a silent flood<br />

We run as thick as blood<br />

<br />

Can you hear it rise up from the ground?<br />

Can't drown it out, can you hear it now?<br />

<br />

This is the sound of a heartbeat<br />

This is the sound from the discontented mouths of a haunted nation<br />

We are the voice of breaking down<br />

<br />

Can you hear me?<br />

This is the sound of the desperation bound by our own collision<br />

We are the voice of breaking down<br />

<br />

The static comes alive<br />

Beneath the broken skies<br />

John Perkins said it right<br />

Love is the final fight<br />

<br />

Let it rise above, rise above<br />

There is no song louder than love<br />

<br />

This is the sound of a heartbeat<br />

This is the sound from the discontented mouths of a haunted nation<br />

We are the voice of breaking down<br />

<br />

Can you hear me?<br />

This is the sound of the desperation bound by our own collision<br />

We are the voice of breaking down, down<br />

<br />

Let it rise above up from the ground<br />

Can't drown it out, can you hear it now?<br />

<br />

This is the sound of a heartbeat<br />

This is the sound from the discontented mouths of a haunted nation<br />

We are the voice of breaking down<br />

<br />

Can you hear me?<br />

This is the sound of the desperation bound by our own collision<br />

We are the voice of breaking down<br />

<br />

This is the sound<br />

This is the sound<br /><br />
