A#
You can't see the sun rise
G# D# A#
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
G# D# A#
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
G# D# A#
By your eyes
G# D#
By your eyes
A#
You can't feel the rain fall down
G# D# A#
When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
G# D# A#
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
G# D# A#
The only sound (sound, sound)
G# D# A#
The only sound, sound, sound
G# D# A#
The only sound, sound, sound
G# D# A#
The only sound (sound, sound)
