The Sound Of Settling

I've got a hunger

twisting my stomach into knots

that my tongue was tied off

my brain's repeating

"if you've got an impulse let it out"

but they never make it past my mouth.

baa bah, this is the sound of settling

baa bah, baa bah

(x2)

our youth is fleeting

old age is just around the bend

and I can't wait to go grey

and I'll sit and wonder

of every love that could've been

if I'd only thought of something charming to say.

baa bah, this is the sound of settling

baa bah, baa bah

(x4)

I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.
