Torvik - Noise Lyrics

Let me tell you a story about a kid
Too fearful to imagine he'd ever be doing this
Much less doing it big
Didn't see me on the come up cause
I was making moves in the back room
Do not disturb, I'll be back soon
Just need some peace and quiet
Seems like all that you want is a riot
Inciting violence, I crave the silence
I've seen too many people fall in my time
Too many people die just chasing a dime
You're living to get rich and brag about your charity
But I'm not chasing riches, I'm chasing prosperity
You're trying to get popular, follow for a follow back
Why don't you leave the screen
Find your heart and follow that
Pointless like counting
Thinking somehow love on a screen will amount to the real thing
Culture has shaped this anomaly
Wanting nothing more than a following
Think attention will fill you but its hollowing
Dark vibes like its Halloween
Make a note on my ledger, it's gonna be a dark night
Rest in peace Heath Ledger
Come and find me
I'll be in my sacred place connecting to a higher meaning
Sometimes I picture my future like an early screening
It's full of people I love finally singing
Finding their voice and courageously speaking
Can you hear me through the noise
Oh, oh
Can you hear me through the noise
The noise
The noise
Can you hear me through the noise
Oh, oh
Can you hear me through the noise
Through the noise
Can you
This is the start of my story where do I begin
I'll try not to bore you with the details of the moment I'm in
I'm not saying all this to make you feel emotion
I'm not trying to say anything clever, and be smooth like lotion
I'm not trying to get a oh that's a good lyric
I just want you to feel my spirit
Or feel anything like I feel electricity when I'm near it
I'm just trying to be heard through all the noise
Can you hear me
Is this hitting home
I hope you're understanding
I'm fatigued from all the faking I can barely stand it
Like I've been donning a mask like a bandit
Flipping out of control, I hope I stick the landing
I underestimated the power of potential
Potential showers look more and more like a storm that's torrential
Tarantula legs make my skin crawl
But not as much as leaving without giving this life my all
Not as much as missed opportunities placed in front of me
Not as much as regret
Not as much as worshiping money
I'm more afraid of not saying I love you enough to the ones that love me
Or not feeling enough and overestimating being tough
I'm more afraid of giving up when its rough
Or living to acquire stuff
That's scary
A life blinded and void of clarity
A life absent of the gem of love and all its rarity
A life with no vision, now that's a reason to shiver
Chills down my spine, thoughts just flow like a river
A waterfall of emotion that will never cease
I just want something to put my mind at ease
Pry open my eyelids so maybe I can see it clearer
In this moment I sit and reflect like a mirror
Was the time put into these rhymes and ideas worth it
Was the hours poured over beats and lyrics worth what I put toward it
I guess we'll find out soon
I'll be back, but for now I'm going back to work in the back room
Seeking my purpose, accepting I'm nervous
Starting a fire and keeping it burning
Breathing in the air you're clearing,
Taking in the words I'm hearing
Trying to live a life with no disparity
You can find me on the road to clarity
Can you hear me through the noise
The noise
The noise
Can you hear me through the noise
The noise
The noise
