lyrics

Looking for a sign
When you should've been listening
If I've learned anything in all these years
It's that I don't remember a goddamn thing

But my ears keep reminding me
That there's so much out of reach

So many ways to slip up
And plant hatreds spanning decades
So kiss my ear
Once again I can disappear into the space
Between the stylus and the membrane

That's the thing about a clock
It's a machine of some kind that eventually stops
The eardrum's wired to a powerful box
No one knows what we'd do without it

If you poke a little hole in the ceiling
You can capture that life again with a microphone
And turn a century upon its head
You've gotta fight it
