Lyrics
O! The Noise!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've tried all my keys in the lock
I've built hundred-story monuments to me, I mean, to you
It seems every stone I throw ripples the water in ways I'll never know
Down below
My accomplishments take me by the hand
Coaxing me to hell or to the promised land
And I'll go, I'll go, I'll pack up and go
So long as I don't have to go alone
My hands are raw and overworked
From trying to wash your color off my shirt
It's like you belong here
If I'd only thought to ask
If I'd only rung the bell on your door
If I'd only prayed to God
I'd be out of this whale, in your house once more
O the noise! Redemption drops my wrist
Leaving me to hell for one last kiss
And I'll go, I'll go, but I don't want to go
Because everyone has to go alone
O the noise! Keeping me from sleep
In the belly of a whale down deep in the sea
Swimming far from all I've done and made-
Only now, I'm content to let it fade
Only now, I'm content
Dancing in circles, watching my feet move
I'm going under, but I'm going somewhere
(O!, you're not what I want)
(But good God, you're what I need)
Only now, I'm content to let it fade
