[Verse 1]
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About the new messiah cause your theories catch fire
[Bridge]
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss, your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our words collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
[Bridge]
Oh I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss, your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
Cause when your words mean nothing, I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it
I'll find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Outro]
I'm covering my ears
I'm-I'm covering my ears
I'm covering my ears like a kid
I'm covering my ears
Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About the new messiah cause your theories catch fire
[Bridge]
I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss, your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing, I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it, I'll find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our words collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind
[Bridge]
Oh I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss, your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough
[Chorus]
I'm covering my ears like a kid
Cause when your words mean nothing, I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it
I'll find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
[Outro]
I'm covering my ears
I'm-I'm covering my ears
I'm covering my ears like a kid
I'm covering my ears
