  • Dear God
    Adjust my dreams for me
    All I learned is instant history
    Is this how
    The surface will break?
    Releasing the pressure
    The horrors that await

    Hell hath no fury like a human born
    Its only real if you can't replace it
    And now I'm losing all control
    Why do I fear it?

    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?
    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?
    I love the sound when it breaks
    Can you hear it?
    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?

    Dear God
    We're shouting in the streets
    'Cause all our love is instant history
    We could go
    To any time or place
    But the history's a nightmare
    I'm sure we'll awake

    I got a fever in my bones
    Gets me so high that I can taste it
    And now I'm losing all control
    Why do I fear it?

    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?
    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?
    I love the sound when it breaks
    Can you hear it?
    This is the sound that we make
    Can you hear it?

    Hell hath no fury like a human born
    Its only real if you can't replace it
    And now I'm losing all control
    Why do I fear it?

    This is the sound that we make
    We only exist in the noise that we bring
    This is the sound that we make
    And we can't unlearn what we've learned
    I love the sound when it breaks
    We try to position our waves on a string
    This is the sound that we make
    And we can't hear what we've heard Writer/s: Ammar Malik, Simon Alexander Neil, Steve Mac
