Stories Going 'Round

We've been told you hate us
 You've been told we never try
 We've been told you're greedy
 You've been told we always lie
 Oh, these days are noisy
 It's like I can't hear myself think
 This whole town feels thirsty
 Another round of doublethink
 Fall apart
 Fall apart
 Fall apart

 No one hears you when you yell
 It's just stories going 'round
 Where they come from I can't tell
 I got my ear to the ground
 You're waiting to be seen
 You're wanting to count
 People sharing out their dreams
 You're feeling left out

 Everybody prays
 Everyone a different way
 Some bow their heads
 Some sit still like ghosts
 Some don't know they pray
 They're just bleeding through their days
 To the moon and sun
 Anything, well anyone
 No one hears you when you yell
 It's just stories going 'round
 Where they come from I can't tell
 I got my ear to the ground
 You're waiting to be seen
 You're wanting to count
 People sharing out their dreams
 You're feeling left out
 Life is long
 It's long enough
 Sometimes the seas are calm
 Right now the seas are rough

 Here it comes
 Here comes the night
 As soft as moonlight
 As old as starlight
 Here it comes

 As soft as moonlight
 As old as starlight
 Here comes the night
 It's soft
 And it's old
