[Verse 1]
I wish that I could freeze time, go to the wild, soak up the quiet
'Til I'm dripping wet with it
Then I would drive home, go to my room, wring myself out
That would be the end of it
Instead it's white noise, sufferingly loud, it's wearing me down
I'm up to my ears in it
It's like a wave break into my head, again and again
How are you not hearing it?

[Pre-Chorus]
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

[Chorus]
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
Silencе is golden, is golden, it's golden

[Verse 2]
Likе a flock of birds flung out of the trees into the sky
Any sound will set me off
I’m gonna hurl now, strapped to my seat and into the ride
Somebody please let me off
Maybe I'll break, just shatter, disperse like cracks in a glass
And never hold a drink again
Hey there's a feedback making it worse, a million hertz
I can hear the ring again
[Pre-Chorus]
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
I’d burn the city to the ground to turn it down

[Chorus]
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
It's building to a siren screaming
It's building to a jet plane engine
Building to 6am construction
It's building and building and building until I can’t function at all

[Outro]
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
