Sound That No One Made / Doomscroller Sunrise lyrics - Dawes

The morning fog descends upon the late night's cheapest thrills

The most committed socialites see the sunrise in the hills

Mistakes are slowly realized

Memories distilled

And the static starts to fade

From the laughter of a maniac

To a songbirds melody

From the howling of the sirens

To the swaying of the trees

It fuses all together

To find that perfect frequency

And then forever ricochets

Into a sound that no one made

I look up to see you slowing down while

Signaling a right

The older man behind us now

Is flashing you his brights

We both seem so distracted

By this growing appetite

To punish and persuade

The silent conversation gets directed toward the view

The cursive in the branches describes the avenue

The words like "I am sorry" and "I'm still in love with you"

Become a debt that won't get paid

Just another sound that no one made

I am rolling down the window to the city's radiation

The connected dream still dancing through the sky

I just need someone who will listen

Through this strange and dark existence

Or the consolation of knowing that you'll try

As we pull off of the freeway

A hospital appears

I see a man up in the window

On the back end of his years

And I imagine him there dying

With that ringing in his ears

That we all end up with someday

There's a code within the symptom

A morbid sort of sign

The ominous reminder of the body's slow decline

As constant as a heartbeat

But stronger over time

While the rest of us decays

Listening to a sound that no one made
