The Noise — dbuck

Verse 1

A crack in the floor shakes the air
Something crawls through the wires
I push my ear to the wall
Only thunder inside the wood

Chorus
Where is it?
In the ceiling, in the pipes,
in the bones of the room—
it won’t stay still

Verse 2

I drag my hands along the plaster
Cold dust falls into my mouth
The hum slips under my feet
Chasing it just makes it stronger

Chorus

Where is it?
In the ceiling, in the pipes,
in the bones of the room—
it won’t stay still

Bridge

Every step, the sound runs deeper
Every breath, the sound grows teeth
I tear through the dark
The noise keeps moving
Always ahead
Never mine

Outro

The walls breathe
The ground moans
The noise is here—
but never found

[End}
