GI'm taking syllables that I want to lose meaning
GAnd painting them in white up on the ceiling
Cadd9*
To swim around the air while I am sleeping
RIFF 1   C  
And in the morning they'll
GBe a little bit blurrier.
GAnd one morning I'll be squinting from my bed
GTo make out the letters overhead
CBut they've blurred into a cloud up there instead
RIFF 1         C  G  
And I'm inviting you to be white paint

I'm inviting you to be white paint.

RIFF 1  G  
GThose syllables will sound against my skull
GTo echo and overlap until they're dull

And I'm inviting you to be white noise
RIFF 1         C  G  
I'm inviting you to be white noise.

Where do you send things to
When your heart ain't got no room?
'Cos I'm set on banishing
My undying love
Unwavering favor of
All the wrong things.

GAnd I'd like to know how difficult is it
GTo recreate established laws of physics
CTo dwell inside the confines of a minute
RIFF 1         C         G  
Where everything just drones, null and void
RIFF 1         C         G  
And in that instant you are just white noise.

I'm taking syllables that I want to lose meaning

And painting them in white up on the ceiling

Cadd9

To swim around the air while I am sleeping

RIFF 1

And in the morning they'll

Be a little bit blurrier.

And one morning I'll be squinting from my bed

To make out the letters overhead

But they've blurred into a cloud up there instead

C G

RIFF 1

And I'm inviting you to be white paint

C G D

RIFF 1

I'm inviting you to be white paint.

[CHORUS]

D C

Where do you send things to

C G

When your heart ain't got no room?

G D

'Cos I'm set on banishing

D C

My undying love

C G

Unwavering favor of

C D G G

All the wrong things.

RIFF 1

Those syllables will sound against my skull

To echo and overlap until they're dull

To blend in with the hum inside the walls

I'm inviting you to be white noise.

CHORUS

Where do you send things to

When your heart ain't got no room?

'Cos I'm set on banishing

My undying love

Unwavering favor of

All the wrong things.

And I'd like to know how difficult is it

To recreate established laws of physics

To dwell inside the confines of a minute

And in that instant you are just white noise.
