Parts Per Million

There's something wrong
With the words that we're not saying
And the silence we're creating
Like a ghost note symphony
There's something wrong
And the temperature is rising
Ignoring every siren
As we're marching towards a cliff

But these are choices
That we don't have to make
Block out the voices
'Cause they have led you astray
What I've been trying to say to you

Is that there's something in the water
There must be something in the air
Just 'cause I can't put my finger on it
It doesn't mean that, that it's not there

Yeah we are all turned on
But then we all tune out
As we are hypnotized by the sparkling lies
We fall under their spell

But don't forget that these are choices
That we don't have to make
So many voices
That have led us astray
We can't keep anything down
The room is spinning around

There must be something in the water
Yeah there's something in the air
Just 'cause I can't put my finger on it
It doesn't mean that, that it's not there!

You are the grains of sand
That slip through my hands again
And we are the hourglass
Love like a flame that can't be held
Somewhere beyond the lives we burn
Lies the point of no return
Like the sand in the hourglass

(But there is something on!)
(But there is something on!)

But there is something in your eyes
That shakes me back to life
And though I can't put my finger on it
Now I know we're gonna be alright!
It's gonna be alright!
It's gonna be alright!

'Cause there is something in the water
Yeah there is something in the water

In this life we sink or swim or just float
We all die, yeah, but did we live at all?
