Song Lyrics

When the calls and conversations
Accidents and accusations
Messages and mis-perceptions
Paralyze my mind

Busses, cars, and airplanes leavin'
Burnin' fumes of gasoline and
Everyone is running and I
Come to find a refuge in the

[Chorus]
Easy silence that you make for me
It's OK when there's nothing more to say to me
And the peaceful quiet you create for me
And the way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay

Monkeys on the barricades
Are warning us to back away
They form commissions trying to find
The next one they can crucify

And anger plays on every station
Answers only make more questions
I need something to believe in
Breathe in sanctuary in the

[Chorus]

Children lose their youth too soon
Watching war made us immune
And I've got all the world to lose
But I just want to hold on to the

[Chorus: x2]

The way you keep the world at bay for me
The way you keep the world at bay
