Sounds We Cannot Hear

Sounds We Cannot Hear - Protomartyr

Another 81 dead since dawn

Spiders crawling ‘cross the ceiling

Next door there's voices moaning

Can't tell if they're coming or going

Thumb press strike over speaker

2 bombshells hit the villa

A vertical of bone-thin children

Celebrity smiling, drops the weight

It's just the buzzing in your ear

“You got to earn a living”

It's what's waiting over there

“Just got to keep on living”

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear

The scroll deforms the day

Poet screamed, “Goodbye everybody!”

Leaping from the liner Orizaba

As it traversed the Caribbean Sea

A new vulgar company is targeting me

It's the weight you cannot bear

“You got to earn a living”

It's the guilt you cannot feel

“Just got to keep on living”

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear

The sounds we cannot hear
