Switchfoot - The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues) lyrics

rate me

<BR>

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<br>

Up from the ground?<br>

Can't drown it out<br>

Can you hear it now?<br>

<br>

This is the sound<br>

Of a heartbeat<br>

This is the sound<br>

From the discontented mouths<br>

Of a haunted nation<br>

<br>

We are the voice of breaking down<br>

Can you hear me?<br>

<br>

This is the sound<br>

Of the desperation bound<br>

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<br>

Rise above<br>

There is no song<br>

Louder than love<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
