lyrics

LYRICS
a clock that ticks, a sink that drips
a sound that tip, tip, taps on my brain
somebody’s snacks and pencil taps
are loud above it all

I wish that I could know what
it feels like to ignore that
to filter out the noise
of anything

misophonia, misophonia
misophonia, misophonia
[instrumental]
misophonia, misophonia

twigs are snapping, knuckles cracking
overlapping over me
someone near says “It’s so quiet here”
come on

can’t you hear?
every sound is loud and clear to me
I guess my brain didn’t come with
noise cancellation

misophonia, misophonia
misophonia, misophonia
(lately I can't "get over it")
misophonia, misophonia

and now I tap my pencil (misophonia)
I click and click my pen (misophonia)
the agitation in my brain (misophonia)
externalising (misophonia)

the overstimulation creeps up
the frantic, frenzy heartbeat heats up
it’s too much, too much (misophonia)
I gotta run (misophonia)

but when I put my headphones on
when I put my headphones on
I’m free, floating melodies
suddenly at ease
I can find some peace in sound

but everything is sound
everything is, everything is, everything is

misophonia, misophonia
misophonia, misophonia
(lately I can't "get over it")
misophonia, misophonia

misophonia, misophonia (neighbors keep me up at night)
misophonia, misophonia (focusing with all my might)
(but all I hear is)
[instrumental]
misophonia, misophonia

[instrumental]
misophonia, misophonia
[instrumental]
misophonia, misophonia
