That Speaker

[Silence]
[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ, Saxophone, Drums, Electric Guitar, Percussion]

[Intro]
Turn it up
(Louder!)
Can you hear?
(Or not that clear?)

A little buzz
(A little hiss)
A little something
(You can’t miss)

[Verse 1]
There’s a voice in the room
But I can’t tell where
It seems to be coming
(From out of nowhere)

Turn the dial
(Let it roll)
Feel the rhythm
(In your soul)

The signal’s breaking
The wires are shaking
Something’s coming through
(But what does it mean to you?)

[Refrain]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

[Verse 2]
Static in the signal
Distortion in the air
A little bit of chaos
(Turned amiss right there)

Turn it up louder
(What did you hear?)
Turn it down softer
(The message disappears)

[Chorus]
That speaker!
(Is fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Hear the unknown!)

Can you hear it?
(Can you hear?)

Can you feel it?
(Blown… oh I fear?)

Something in the silence
(Something in the tone)
Something waiting
(To be known)

[Bridge]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

[Break]
That speaker…
(Fully blown!)

What happened?
(Too much sound!)

Sound seeker…
(Couldn’t take the pound!)

What’s that?
(The unknown!)
… fully blown

[Instrumental]
[Deep sub-bass]
[Electric guitar feedback]
[Organ]
[Saxophone]
[Drums]

[Final Chorus]
That speaker!
(Is fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Hear the unknown!)

Turn it up!
(Turn it down!)
Feedback bound!
(Search around!)

[Final Refrain]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

That speaker!
(It’s fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Better keep goin’!)

[Outro]
Shhh…

(Listen.)

What was that?

(The unknown…)

… completely blown.
