Libera Me

Flashing lights and siren screams Every minute a person dies Some people hold their hands to their ears And some just close their eyes I wanna run til I can't be found Then I'll bury my head in the ground Wherever I lose myself To be safe from all the sound around me The train's delayed, a woman's here Asking for money while the raindrops dry But then there's always a reason To just ignore the cries I left my wallet at home again An excuse as sweet as Amen I always just lie to them To be safe from all the sound around me Pressures, pleasures They all just blend together I can't feel anything My heartbeat sounds like a timer Who knows what happens when it ends? Leaving work with music on Turn it up til my blood goes thin I know I'll never be lonely I've got my headphones in Til the darkness just falls away Til the light breaks out from the grey I'd never complain again To be safe from all the sound around me Libera me domine De morte aeterna Libera me domine
