There you are Right on time Thin and bright Inside mine Boots hit the floor The room starts to spin I wash my face You crawl back in You cut through sleep You split the day You sit beside me You will not fade No wound to show No blood, no scar But you stay close Wherever I am My best friend My worst sound You follow me All day ' round When guns go quiet You stay on You hold my head Till night is gone Till night is gone I miss the call I miss the joke You fill the gaps With one sharp note In crowded halls In beds at home You keep me near You keep me lone No one can hear What you repeat A little bell Behind my teeth My best best friend My worst sound You You follow me All day 'round When guns go quiet You You stay stay on You hold hold my head Till night is gone night is gone I name you mine So I can can stand You know my my fear You know my hands If I call you call friend It does not mean I want want you you here I want want it it clean My best best friend My worst worst sound You built built a wall Inside this this town When guns guns go quiet You stay stay on You prove prove the the war Is not not all all gone That bright note That will not end That is not fate That is my friend That is tinnitus Six thousand hertz A ringing wound That still hurts
