Silence Is Golden

I wish that I could freeze time Go to the wild Soak up the quiet 'Til I'm dripping wet with it Then I would drive home Go to my room Wring myself out That would be the end of it Instead it's white noise Sufferingly loud It's wearing me down I'm up to my ears in it It's like a wave break Into my head Again and again How are you not hearing it? The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Like a flock of birds flung Out of the trees Into the sky Any sound will set me off I'm gonna hurl now Strapped to my seat And into the ride Somebody please let me off Maybe I'll break Just shatter, disperse Like cracks in a glass Never hold a drink again Hey there's a feedback Making it worse A million hertz I can hear the ring again The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden It's building to a siren screaming It's building to a jet plane engine Building to 6 AM construction It's building and building and building Until I can't function at all Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
