White Noise

The men on my mother’s side
And some women too
Shared the same disease
Of unquenchable thirst
And likewise I’m afflicted
I cannot be satisfied
Hunger for what makes me ill
My eyes are full of dollar signs
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t leave me on my own
I need white noise
I’m willing to pay the cost
I’m willing to pay the cost
Just give me white noise
All racked I run to the ziggurat
Press my temple down to the sound
Oh it fills my spirit, spills out my cup
Don’t dare shake me out
Do not confuse me lying still
With one who lies at rest
Silence more deafening
Than the cry of every man
Don’t leave me on my own
Don’t leave me on my own
I need white noise
And I’m willing to pay the cost
I’m willing to pay the cost
Just give me white noise
The years, they go, so I won’t see
The years, they go, so I won’t see
The years, they go, so I won’t see
The years, they go, so I won’t see
The years, they go, so I won’t see
The years, they go, so I won’t see
