Another day to drown in sound Arms open, legs still, no struggle I just drink it in then I breathe it in then I sink to the source Where vibrations toll new tones
And I was Quasimodo, rope in hand Ringing bells louder than the life I live Sound pushing waves of air into me Knocking me over, shaking my guts I couldn't hear the sound of my own laughter Or the screams of my ears bleeding
And I was lost in space, doomed to die alone In silence I did not realize silence could be deafening A vacuum pops the only thing breaks is I stopped talking to myself yesterday I was driving myself insane
And I believed all music was from God As He said He would comfort me with songs of deliverance And I may have been fooling myself But I believed God was in all music I still believe that
Open the gates of heaven, the first song I hear Will be the best song I ever heard in my life Peter will ask me what I think and I'll tell him Then he'll tell me it's the weakest track on the record "Wait until you get to the middle" That's how I'll know I'm in heaven
