Parts per million

There's something wrong with the words that we're not sayin'
And the silence we're creatin'
Like a ghost note symphony
There's something wrong and the temperature is risin'
Ignoring every siren
As we're marching towards the cliff

But these are choices that we don't have to make
Block out the voices
'Cause they have led you astray
What I've been trying to say to you is that

There's something in the water
There must be something in the air
Just 'cause I can't put my finger on it
It doesn't mean that - that it's not there

Yeah, we are all turned on
But then we all tuned out
As we are hypnotised by the sparkling lies
We fall under their spell

But don't forget that these are choices (choices)
That we don't have to make
So many voices (voices)
That have led us astray
We can't keep anything down
The room is spinning around

There must be something in the water
Yeah, there's something in the air
Just cause I can't put my finger on it
It doesn't mean that - that it's not there

You are the grains of sand
That slip through my hands again
And we are the hourglass
Love like a flame that can't be held
Somewhere beyond the lives we burn
Lies the point of no return
Like the sand within an hourglass

(But there is something odd!)
(But there is something odd!)

But there is something in your eyes
That shakes me back to life
And though I can't put my finger on it
Now I know we're gonna be alright!

It's gonna be alright!
It's gonna be alright!

'Cause there is something in the water
Yeah, there is something in the water

In this life
We sink or swim or just float
We all die
Yeah, but did we live at all?
