Fell into a song at 12 years old
Never learnt to let go noone taught me so
And I've collected every card I've had
As if each memory runs away but I'm too slow to catch

Now I'm living off the land
My melodies are crops to hand
And I sell it to the bands
(Sell it to the bands)

And I'm playing every role
Juggling the masks
Like it's a one woman show
(Well, surely they know)

And I hear the sirens
Haunting me
The crowd goes quiet
It's on my horizon
Haunting me
The sound of silence

Every time they left I planted seeds
Rising out the darkness 'cause the silence frightened me
And everybody thought I'd shout retreat
But I won't wave my white flag at an algorithm
Please don't make me

Lie about my age
Pay the keepers at the gate
Make my lose a little weight
(Lose a little weight)
Film my quiet fate
While I'm losing all my faith
As they pull me off the stage

And I hear the sirens
Haunting me
The crowd goes quiet
It's on my horizon
I can hear
The sound of silence

(Ooh)

And I hear the sirens
Haunting me
The crowd goes quiet
It's on my horizon
I can hear
The sound of silence
