Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom
Keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About your new messiah
Cos your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go
La, la, la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cos if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La, la, la

If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
