[Lyric] Within the Noise (Ambien)

We count our fingers
As if we could grow more
We glide along rivers
Like insects in retreat
And when the waterfalls come
We could rise, but instead we choose to fall
Tracing the flowing droplets
With bodies too meek to recognize
The power within the choice
The anger within the noise;
Falling still, we look at the water-necked
Rocks and expect everything will bе fine
Everything will solve itsеlf. People will not
Keep complicating. Love will not keep
Devastating. Blood will not keep spilling
From the doors of the houses
Of the people blind enough
To believe the kings
Who sing of peace
Like a myth of immortality;
But every singer will meet their end
And their immortality will always outlive them;
And their families will inherit the weight
Of their choices, and the towers they build
Will be bought by someone else
And torn down. And in their place
Soon, it will just be barren land
And in their place, you
You will just be barren land
We count our fingers
As if we could grow more
We glide along rivers
Like insects in retreat
And when the waterfalls come
We could rise
