White Noise - Live at The Vermont Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA

-accepted by my audience as I do now
And I've never felt as connected to you guys as I have
Over the past couple weeks and I cannot thank you enough for that
Thank you

They paint the walls with colors that you're not meant to notice
Beiges and browns, off-whites and grayscales
Fluorescent lights to shine on the eggshell ground
Now you're lying face down
You blend into the background
Of white noise

They fill the halls with tunes you can't get into your head
Four four and Dorian, wrote 'em for ignoring 'em, yeah
It sorta sounds like a retro top 40 but wrong
You're not meant to sing along
It isn't that kind of song
It's white noise

But, if you listen closely I swear
To God, I swear
You can hear the ocean, if you
Hold it up to your ear
Hear

Whitе noise
Listen close between the waves
White noise
Hear the ocean through your wake
White noise
Listen close between the waves
White noise

How many times has this happened to you?
You go to take out the laundry and you drop it
And it falls into a black hole
How many times has this happened to you?
You're straining your pasta and your eyeballs fall out into it
How many times has this happened to you?
There's a cat
And it wont tell you it's name
You don't recognize the cat
It's not your cat
You don't have a cat
But it's here
And it won't tell you what you need to know
In order to properly assess the situation
'Cause the cat is much larger than any cat you've seen before
It's a bear
How many times has this happened to you?
You die
And then are reborn again
Into the mind of a grasshopper
Where-in you die once more
And then are reborn again into the mind of your mom
How many times has this happened to you?
You give up

Check one, two, check check one, two
It's high-fidelity
Lossless quality
It's MP, one, two, three, four, five, F-L-A-C
It's polyphonic
The new Philharmonic
With a Juilliard doctorate
Live from the Metropolitan
It's theoretically dense
It's impressive
It's microtonal and it challenges Western notions of art
It's post-avant-garde
It's going places 'cause it comes from the heart and
It's personality's a lack of identity
It makes no statement, but does so quite loudly
It's an aesthetic
I mean an anesthetic
And it's an experience for your seventh sense, yes
Does it cure cancer?
(Yes, it cures cancer!)
Wow!
It begs the question, just to tell you the answer
Do you believe in the power of silence?
Well if you walk the walk, can you talk more
(Shh!)
Quiet?

White noise
Listen close between the waves
White noise
Oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
White noise
Listen close between the waves
White noise

You fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel
Try to make room in your skull, but it's full of them
All of the things that you think and then think about thinking
I know it's hard
But they're not who you are
They're white noise
