There to Hear

from The Existential Opera by Mana Machines

about

About a set of relationships I watched falling apart while the couples acted like nothing was going wrong until it was too late.

Sad song... but DAMN I love the way it turned out.

lyrics

The clock ticks at the top of it's lungs
Trying to tell us our time together is done done

but we're not there to hear
no we're not there to hear the clock tick
no we're not there to hear

a light glows on my pocket phone
another message sent from my own sub conscious
it blinks a rythm in morse code
saying the love that we have is growing old

but I'm not there to hear
no I'm not there to hear my cell phone
no I'm not there to hear

the news blares on a TV screen
in an empty rooms where we used to be
The anchor woman she says it's all a loss
the two lovers have fallen a-part

but we're not there to hear
no we're not there to hear the TV
we're not there to hear

We're not distracted by the claims she makes
Or the text that scrolls underneth her head

we live oblivious and happy cause nothing's wrong at all
No one can hide all their deepest fears forever on their own
so I'm glad I have you to help me


but we're not there to hear
no we're not there to hear Anything
we're not there to hear
no we're not there to hear Anything
