The Sound

It's Wednesday when I wake, 1: 30 too late
Won't you carry me? Like driftwood on the sea
There's nothing down below, forget your vertigo
My feet come off the ground, but I don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear
Vertigo, there's nothing dark below
Vertigo, there's nothing down below
We've left our fear below, there's no more vertigo
White roses in my dreams, big ambient nеw machine
Won't you carry me? Like driftwood on thе sea
My feet don't touch the ground, but I don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear a sound
I just don't hear a sound
A sound, a sound
I just don't hear a sound
Vertigo, there's nothing dark below
Vertigo, there's nothing down below
Machine, machine, big ambient new machine
Big ambient new machine
Machine, machine, big ambient new machine
White roses in my dreams
My dreams, my dreams, white roses in my dreams
White roses in my dreams
Machine, machine, big ambient new machine
One road to cross, unknown, unnamed
One road, it goes, unknown, unnamed
The sky is wide, cut like an eye
I bleed the sky, I wait for night
Our dreams denied, our dreams denied
One road to cross, unknown, unnamed
One road, it goes, unknown, unnamed
Our dreams denied, our dreams denied (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
I just don't hear a sound (but I don't hear a sound)
Vertigo, there's nothing dark below
Vertigo, there's nothing down below
Big ambient new machine
Machine, machine, big ambient new machine
White roses in my dreams
In my dreams, in my dreams, white roses in my dreams
