Lyrics
It’s so sobering
The smell of oxygen and sunlight
The chemicals that form beneath the clouds
Like a bad idea said out loud
We can’t forget all that it put us through
It’s hard to recollect or live up to
Our consciences through the sound of emptiness
When you hear it out loud
It stops making sense
In all the reckoning
And all the rationing to follow
The suffering of pride or happiness
If only I could’ve said it out loud
We can’t rely on who we’re lying to
And you can’t deny the universal truths
Like all we’ll miss in the round of loneliness
When you hear it out loud
It stops making sense
I’ll not forget all that it put us through
I stopped remembering but now I do
Our consciences through our unconsciousness
Were so damn loud
When you hear it out loud
It starts making sense
