They said I * up, so I knew There was nothing left to do but cast a stone
Then came the fires through the night The spread of faster lights, I left for
What I thought you'd know About the sound of giving
Then with a bloodied symphony And the comfort of your peers
You took your stand
Though the words rang loud and clear Rage was insincere
You weren't the first I made it was
So here's to wasting all the way
Just to return someday
So I see it in the scriptures Of a dozen strangers' rooms
It was hanging with the pictures on a wall I knew
It should have happened in a hotel But it started on a bridge
It was never gonna go well And it never did
I could pray I'd never wake
And just like a butterfly
You're going your own way
So I have a soda cigarette
The smoke and sun should help forget our little tears
I fill myself with free caffeine
Most never knowing what it means To really heal the way I feel
This is the sound of giving
This is the sound of giving
This is the sound of giving
