Inescapable

There's no way to turn this around
There's nothing anyone can do
No one but you 
Can turn on the electric machine

And no one else can suppress the sound
Of people you once knew
Sinking up into the blue
When you used to see in shades of green

Baby, you try to rush it
Let the tinkle breath of silence pass
Then you can coax the sizzle sparks out

Now you're searching for the volume control
They can't answer your questions
They won't feed your obsession
Thirsty for another jagged jolt

And I know your skin will prickle for that vicious voltage

There's no way to turn this around
There's nothing anyone can do
No one but you
Can turn on the electric machine

Baby, you try to rush it
Let the tinkle breath of silence pass
Then you can coax the sizzle sparks out.
