I never learned to speak but I can hum
When my head nods softly like the beat of a drum
And I am nothing if not thorough
I am nothing in your eyes

Cuz I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
So I...

Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down

Hey I'd like to turn the page and find out where we are
But my book's burning somewhere in a churchyard
I became the master of my own little dance
If it made you turn your back, I don't give a fuck

Cuz I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
I'm a blind man, in a dark room
Looking for a shadow, that's not there
So I...

Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down

She lies today so she lies awake
She lies awake so she lies today

I never learned to speak but I can hum
When my head's nods softly like the beat of a drum
And I am nothing if not thorough
I am nothing in your eyes

Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
It's just the sound of the whole world breakin' down
Listen to the sound of the whole world breakin' down
