Verse 1
And even if you say the well is deep
The water tastes of nothing
And look at all the words you mean to keep
You better hear their hollowing
Verse 2
I tell ya not to sing it all in sleep
I know that's what you're loving
And if you claim the vigil that you keep
Just feel the melody suffocating
Chorus
It's all the notes
It's all the notes
It's all the notes inside you, ringing sharp and false and grey
It's all the notes
It's all the notes
It's all the notes inside you, that you'll have to break someday
Verse 3
And I don't want my ears to listen to
A prophet whose sign's fading
It's like until the ancient statue's through
I don't stop the erasing
Verse 4
Another artist doesn't know
Which muse is still worth praising
But history knows I'm not to blame you
If silence does the sentencing
Chorus
It's all the notes
It's all the notes
It's all the notes inside you, ringing sharp and false and grey
It's all the notes
It's all the notes
It's all the notes inside you, that you'll have to break someday
Outro
(That you'll have to break)
The same note on a broken string
(That you'll have to break)
Is that the only song you bring?
