lyrics

Lyrics:

They'll keep coming and I promise that you can not
Drown them out, drown them out, drown them out
They'll keep swarming and I promise that you can not
Drown them out
They'll keep coming and I promise that you can not
Drown them out, drown them out, drown them out
They'll keep swarming and I promise that you can not
Drown them out
They'll keep coming and I promise that you can not
Drown them out, drown them out, drown them out
They'll keep swarming and I promise that you can not

They are infesting, rapidly nesting
Becoming deafening
It's never ending, like constant screaming
Tinnitus inducing
Can not escape them, forced to embrace them
Exterminate them
Volumes exceeding, ears are now bleeding
Sanity weakening

Torturous, I'm losing my mind
Static, coming from outside
Torturous, I'm losing my mind
Static, coming from outside

An audible representation of what it sounds like
Inside my mind, fluctuation of frequencies
Back and forth with my tendencies
Can't find a way to feel at ease

Eradicate the plague
Set ablaze the trees
Create a living hell
For nature's disease

Drowning without rain, air is thickening, sickening
Draining out my blood, eating at my skin
Can't escape this pain, knives inside the rain, damaging
Can't escape this place, it feels nowhere is safe
Cicadas all around, can't evade the sound, or drown them out
Screaming little insects, songs that sound so wretched
Ringing in my ears, sound I can't ignore, anymore
Please burn down the trees, burn them down

They'll keep coming
They'll keep coming
They'll keep coming
They'll keep coming
They'll keep swarming
