Hearing is a labor like reading
Hearing is a labor like keeping still
Hearing is a labor like seeing
Like seeing, seeing for real

Hearing is a labor like reading
Hearing is a labor like keeping still
Hearing is a labor like seeing
Like seeing, seeing for real

You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst
You're gonna melt or burst

I survived a fire
And it wasn't mine to head
But I egged it in the science
Of silence

Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say
Don't say, don't say, don't say, don't say

Hearing is a labor like reading (don't say, don't say)
Hearing is a labor like keeping still (don't say, don't say)
Hearing is a labor like seeing (don't say, don't say)
Like seeing, seeing for real (don't say, don't say)
