VERSE 1:
F               F    I ponder of something great,
    Am                  GMy lungs will fill and then deflate,
      F                 FThey fill with fire, exhale desire,
   Am                GI know it's dire, my time today,
CHORUS (I think…)
   F                       FI have these thoughts so often, I ought,
   Am                                  GTo replace that slot with what I once bought,
         F      F             Am'Cause somebody stole my car radio,
                         GAnd now I just sit in silence,
Once you get into the rhythm of it it’s easy. That’s why I only have half.


VERSE 2:
Sometimes quiet is violent,
I find it hard to hide it,
My pride is no longer inside,
It's on my sleeve, my skin will scream,
Reminding me of who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving,
There's no hiding for me,
I'm forced to deal with what I feel,
There is no distraction to mask what is real,
I could pull the steering wheel,

CHORUS:

I have these thoughts so often, I ought,
To replace that slot with what I once bought,
'Cause somebody stole my car radio,
And now I just sit in silence.

VERSE 3

I ponder of something terrifying,
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind,
I find over the course of our human existence,
One thing consists of consistence,
And it's that we're all battling fear,
Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we are here,
Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking,
I liked it better when my car had sound,
There are things we can do,
But from the things that work, there are only two,
And from the two that we choose to do,
Peace will win and fear will lose,
There's faith, and there's sleep,
We need to pick one please because,
Faith is to be awake, and to be awake is for us to think,
And for us to think is to be alive,
And I will try with every rhyme,
To come across like I am dying,
To let you know we need to try to think,

CHORUS:

I have these thoughts so often, I ought,
To replace that slot with what I once bought,
'Cause somebody stole my car radio,
And now I just sit in silence.

Repeat intro and let the last G ring
