Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the calls and conversations
Accidents and accusations
Messages and misperceptions
Paralyze my mind
[Verse 2]
Buses, cars, and airplanes leavin'
Burnin' fumes of gasoline and
Everyone is runnin' and I
Come to find a refuge in the
[Verse 3]
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothin' more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
[Verse 4]
Monkeys on the barricades
Are warnin' us to back away
They form commissions tryin' to find
The next one they can crucify
[Verse 5]
And anger plays on every station
Answers only make more questions
I need somethin' to believe in
Breathe in sanctuary in the
[Verse 6]
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothin' more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
[Verse 7]
Children lose their youth too soon
Watching war made us immune
And I've got all the world to lose
But I just wanna hold on to the
[Verse 8]
Easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothin' more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
[Verse 9]
The easy silence that you make for me
It's okay when there's nothin' more to say to me
In the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
