Lyrics It's 3AM And I am laying wide-awake And I can't sleep for the noise inside my head The world vibrating With a cruel cacophony Flooded with the thoughts my mind has bled The restless furor Of a thousand racing thoughts Swarms around me like a vulture circles prey In the darkness No one else can hear a sound But I am deafened by this ceaseless disarray I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human Waking life Like a movie on a screen Running backwards as the film starts to unthread A wall of violence Bounding forward through the peace With no regard for what might lie ahead An infestation Of arbitrary thought Washes over me in paralyzing waves My defenses Battered by the driving storm Isolated - waiting to be saved I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human It's much too late And I am slowly losing ground A prisoner to the noise inside my head Disconnected I am trapped within myself Held captive by a tide that never ebbs I could scream myself to sleep If it would shatter the illusion But I can't give in to this 'Cause it's the noise that makes me human
Love this song. It relates to my life 100%. Plus this song is a crowd pleaser on the dance floor. Everyone will be dancing/stomping to this. Wonderful work Tom!
Though, "Over and Out" is an awesome track and I'm sure that you could listen to one song, before bed (peer pressure). "Darkflow" is also a really wonderful song. :P
Tom you are one of few artists I have listened to over the years and you have yet to disappoint me. Keep it up mate! Hope to see you in San Francisco soon!
Amazing song, i'm showing all my friends. I look forward to hopefully seeing you live again when you tour the US this fall! Saw you last live year, and got bought your newest album and got it autographed! Been a huge fan since 2005. You have gotten me through some of the hardest parts of my life, and i would like to say I wouldn't be the person i am today without you!
one of the best artists ive ever heard . tom its your sound and words that makes all the dark places in my mind to shine and to keep creating my sounds no matter little followers i have. youre music is underrated but so beyond the gift of songwriting i hope one day we can meet in person bro. your someone i look up to. much love
This is my favorite song off the new album!! I saw you last year at the El Corozan. Also I'm the top listener for Assemblage 23 on Last.fm apparently, I found out that the other day. Apparently listening to nearly 3,000 A23 tracks is a bit much for some, haha. I haven't even bought your new album yet, I see a few of my internet buddies from Germany listening to your new album already, so jealous. Thanks for uploading these, it seems you made this account just for this perhaps?
Even though it kinda doesn't make sense, I feel like I can kinda relate to the lyrics because I'm listening to this at exactly 2:43.... "It's 3 am, and I'm lying wide awake." XD
following the times is so difficult I want to sing see higher than you, walk my bullet to the line then leap across past you I can't deny it's deep inside no time to question wonder why now let's defy brring
Continuing my last comment, I wasn't aware there was a character input limit. If you have a fan collection of photos or anything once my A23 logo on my arm is done I would love to take a picture for you. It was started but then I was confused on which design to stick with because your logo has two different designs and I am indecisive on which one to do. At this point I can correct what has been done and finish with either design so I have part of the outline right now, haha.
ants can't fight against humans,so I I think secant fight alone against gods!!!! so I can dance because the noize ,maybe gets me back to my human reality.......
