Silent Alarm

How many times
Will the earth spin around?
Most spend their lives
With their heads in the ground
Walking without ever taking a step
Speaking without ever making sound

Gold turns to rust as the leaves fall down
Definite silence, the saddest sound
I was a lake that reflected the stars
You were the silent alarm
Going off

Give me a sign
Turn on the warning light
And I'll carry on my life
Without always turning around
When we arrive
We'll be our own design
And you'll be the morning light

How many times will the earth spin around
We spend our lives with our heads in the ground
Walking without ever taking a step
Speaking without making sound

Give me a sign
Turn on the warning lights
I'll carry on my life
Without always turning around
When we rise
We'll be our own design
And you'll be the morning light
You're the world outside
Tonight
