Technologies Screams

Ticking of clocks

Dinging of texts

Ringing of cell phones

Oh – what is next?

Demand

Demand

Demand

All day and all night

It separates me from you, there is no finish in sight

I battle through the masses

You’re all I need

I turn off the ticking, the dinging, the rings

I soak up the silence, the peace like a dream

You’re right beside me

You silence technologies scream

You tell me you love me

And you were here before

But now I can hear you

The world’s roar is no more
