lyrics

A word's not heard above the din, but it don't bother me at all,
They're empty.
Any way you choose you've got to choose.
You choose your own mistakes to make you think.
A laughing face on painted wall
There is illusion to be found among us.
A sound's not heard above the noise that is created by our voice,
but I am listening.

We roll back stones to dig the earth, is there a clue that's buried,
here among us ?
In ruins under blood red sky I heard a sound I heard a cry,
Nobody there.
A laughing face on painted wall, there is illusion to be found among us.
A sound's not heard above the noise that is created by our voice,
But I am listening.

One lonely step on a stair with a voice of silk and sand.
Hear it wall to wall it's echoing, and its ambient refrain,
Like a soft and gentle rain upon a step,
Through the door with your hand upon the rail,
And you're not sure where you're going,
And you're unsure where you've been,
And you're looking for your balance as you falter going in,

A word's not heard above the din, but it don't bother me at all
They're empty.
Any way you choose you've got to choose.
You choose your own mistakes to make you thin
