The Sound of Settling

This is not what I want... but sometimes it's how I feel.

I've got a hunger...
twisting my stomach into knots
that my tongue was tied off.

My brain's repeating,
if you've got an impulse let it out
but they never make it past my mouth.

Ba ba (ba ba)
This is the sound of settling
Ba ba, ba ba
x2

Are you this fleeting?
Old age is just around the bend,
I can't wait to look grey.

And I'll sit and wonder...
of every love that could have been,
if I only thought of something charming to say.

Ba ba, (ba ba)
This is the sound of settling
Ba ba, ba ba
x4

I've got a hunger...
twisting my stomach into knots.
