Lyrics
(first, hum the words to yourself)
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
and it wasn’t mine to head
but I
egged it in the science of
silence
hearing is a labor like reading
hearing is a labor like keeping still
hearing is a labor like seeing
like seeing
seeing for real
