lyrics

What's that sound?
There's nobody around
It's in my head
A thousand thoughts unsaid

What's that sound I hear?
Have I lost my mind?
The meaning isn't clear
Sawtooth, square, and sine

I lie awake
my head a sphere of ache
Still it howls
Cacophony of vowels
Try to sleep
count the bleating sheep
Sleep won't come,
There's only ceaseless hum

What's that sound I hear?
Have I lost my mind?
The meaning isn't clear
Sawtooth, square, and sine

This buzzy whine
Has got to be a sign
That I am lost
And now must pay the cost

What's that sound I hear?
Have I lost my mind?
The meaning isn't clear
Sawtooth, square, and sine
