I'm not drowning fast enough.

In an ocean of noise, I first heard your voice ringing like a bell; as if I had a choice, oh well! Left in the morning, while you were fast asleep into an ocean of violence, a world of empty streets. You've got your reasons and, me, I've got mine; but all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time. In an ocean of noise, I first heard your voice; now who hear among us still believes in choice? Not I! No way of knowing what any man will do; an ocean of violence between me and you. You've got your reasons and, me, I've got mine; but all the reasons I gave were just lies to buy myself some time. I'm gonna work it out, 'cause time won't work it out. I'm gonna work it out, 'cause time won't work it our for you. I'm gonna work it on out.
