The Sound

Words fall miles away from ears
That were never close enough to hear
They leave my lips and disappear
The sound is missing from the air

We live and die by just one breath
And now I'm suffocating on neglect
One moment moves into the next
It's the sound of knowing nothing's left

And the sound is creaming from my lungs
Oh, oh
And the sound is tearing me apart
Oh, oh
And it's bringing back to life
All the fear I left behind

I don't know what I need to say
The meaning never seems to resonate
I've tried my best but I'm afraid
The sound is already too late

And the sound is creaming from my lungs
Oh, oh
And the sound is tearing me apart
Oh, oh
And it's bringing back to life
All the fear I left behind

My life is but a whisper
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
I scream but no one listens
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
My life is but a whisper
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
I scream but you still listen
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
