Red Arms - Down to Sound Lyrics

6:00AM - the alarm clock sings
Your ears still ring from last night's show

Burnt toast - the coffee burns your throat
Rush to work
A silk noose that completes the look
Of someone else's resume
The fraud you try to sell
Revelations too bitter to face
In time the noise inside finds a way to seep through your deadened eyes

Twisting, turning, weeping, let it out
Wanting, waiting, yearning, wanna scream it out
But silent and sleepless, the bed sheets just know what's up
At daybreak the brave face hides what knots you up

6:00AM - the alarm clock stings
Your eyes pour like springs - you fight to stop the flow
A burden binds you to your work
A white shirt, a silk noose, your aging looks
The tattoo across your chest
That bleeds onto your sleeves
A bleeding heart repents
The last words you can't take back
That door shuts for good she ain't coming back

Twisting, turning, weeping, let it out
Wanting, waiting, yearning, wanna scream it out
Lonely so lonely, the bed sheets just know what's up
At daybreak the brave face hides what knots you up
