This is a sound check nThis is where we check the sound nOf complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown nThis is a sound check n nI can hear my resolve snap as our bodies bend nI don’t think I could tell you where I wanted this to end nTrying hard not to think of anything but her skin nEveryone makes mistakes sometimes, n at the moment I’m just cashing mine in n nClose my eyes and find a groove nLet myself go, begin to move nThe further I drift away from shore nAll I want is more n nShe’s asking me if I want to stop, n but the last thing that I want to do is talk nAbout what it is that I really want and why nThere’s a pain in my chest that’s beginning to burn like sin nAnd I’m beginning to wonder if we’re ever gonna get out n of the mess we’re in n nClose my eyes and find a groove nLet myself go, begin to move nThe further I drift away from shore nAll I want is more n nYou don’t have to testify nWhen no one ever asks you why nIt’s not hard to justify nWhen you’ve never told a lie n nThis is a sound check nIt’s where we check the sound nOf justifications and apologies so profound nThis is a sound check n n nThis is a sound check nThis is where we check the sound nOf complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown nThanks for coming to the sound check n
