Of Sound And Fury

(album: White Lies - 2007)

I'd kill today to get out of this darkness of your shadow
I am tired from believing anyone can do this thing
I've given everything away in hopes I could accomplish
What so many groups have done before
I barely touch the ladder

Oh, it takes its toll

I've given up enough
To make it to the top
It's tearing me apart
I'm singing from my heart

But, hey! I don't wanna say it
I don't wanna hear how much you're making
Always telling me to change our sound
Always trying hard to bring us down
I said hey! I don't wanna say it
One look at our name and you hate it
It don't mean shit! I'm over it

Oh, it takes its toll

I've given up enough
To make it to the top
It's tearing me apart
I'm singing from my heart

Take a deep breath
Hold it in until there's nothing left
Ohh
I said take a deep breath
Hold it in until there's nothing left
Take take, take a deep breath
Hold it in until there's nothing left

Oh, it takes its toll

I've given up enough
To make it to the top
It's tearing me apart
I'm singing from my heart
