You can't see the sun rise
F# C# G#
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies

When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
F# C# G#
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound

The only sound (sound, sound)
F# C# G#
The only sound, sound, sound
F# C# G#
The only sound, sound, sound
F# C# G#
The only sound (sound, sound)
