Switchfoot - The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues) Lyrics






The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below

The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood

Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground?
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now?

This is the sound
Of a heartbeat
This is the sound
From the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation

We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?

This is the sound
Of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down

The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight

Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love

    The static comes in slow
    You can feel it grow
    Our stream of conscience flows
    Under the streets below

    The rivers made of sound
    Still running underground
    Runs like a silent flood
    We run as thick as blood

    Can you hear it rise
    Up from the ground?
    Can't drown it out
    Can you hear it now?

    This is the sound
    Of a heartbeat
    This is the sound
    From the discontented mouths

    Of a haunted nation
    We are the voice of breaking down
    Can you hear me?

    This is the sound
    Of the desperation bound
    By our own collision
    We are the voice of breaking down

    The static comes alive
    Beneath the broken skies

    John Perkins said it right
    Love is the final fight

    Let it rise above
    Rise above
    There is no song
    Louder than love

    This is the sound
    Of a heartbeat
    This is the sound
    From the discontented mouths

    Of a haunted nation
    We are the voice of breaking down
    Can you hear me?

    This is the sound
    Of the desperation bound
    By our own collision
    We are the voice of breaking down

    This is the sound, This is the sound
