Falling Apart
Can’t you hear the rumble from underground
Can’t you hear the hum from up above
Don’t you hear the whisper on the street
Don’t it shake you sometimes when you hear the heat
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling apart
Commit the crime, you’re free to stay,
blow the whistle better run away
Should I censor what I say, it’s recorded by the NSA
But don’t you feel so much safer
with Big Brother on the phone
And don’t you love never being alone
There’s a ringing that never leaves my ears
It’s at a pitch that’s tuned in to my fears
To distracted to think, too awake to sleep
Yes it shakes me sometimes when I hear the heat
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling apart
How do you turn off the toys, how do you tune out the noise
Of Taylor and Caitlyn and Kanye and Kim
And let your mind wander and let your mind swim
Below the shiny surface of what they try to call the news
Beneath the sheltered island of what
you think you’ve got to lose, so
Take a look around
Take a look around
Tell me if we’re waking up
Tell me if we’re lying down
Tell me who we’re up against
Tell me who we’re fighting for
And tell me why there’s a SWAT team at my door
What good’s a vote when both sides have been bought
What good is hope when it only keeps you caught
Somewhere between where you are
and where they say you’re supposed to be
No matter who you are, it’s gonna shake you
when you hear the heat
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling apart
I think I’d better find somewhere new to run
I think I’d better learn how to shoot this gun
I used to think I could find some comfort in the crowd
But this cacophony, it’s just too damn loud
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling apart
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling
It’s just the sound of everything falling apart
