Loud and Clear

And when you left you said it’s ‘cause I never listened

At least that's what I think you said

But that’s not really accurate now is it?

And if it is, does it even make a difference?

If I don’t listen all the time then I might miss it

It’s more than just a habit

And I don’t get how you just casually dismiss it

And separate signal from the static

I turn my stereo on so I don’t have to hear

I turn the volume way up until it hurts my ears

But it sounds exactly as I feared

The silence is loud and clear

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking

Sometimes I wish that everyone would just shut up

But when it comes down to keeping me distracted

Too much is never enough

Look at us now, aren’t we fabulously clever?

Don’t we all just have such witty things to say?

Have you noticed how it all just blends together

And melts away?

I turn my stereo on so I don’t have to hear

I turn the volume way up until it hurts my ears

But it sounds exactly as I feared

The silence is loud and clear
