Lyrics

Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom, keep it shut
I hate it when you hiss and preach
About the new messiah cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours, rather be a coward
When our words collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind

Oh, I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you hiss your speech, it's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
Cause when your words mean nothing
I go la la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause when my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it, I go
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

I'm covering my ears, I'm
I'm covering my ears
I'm covering my ears like a kid
I'm covering my ears

Live sessions

The 2020 session was broadcast on May 26 and can be replayed (in Norway) on NRK TV. It was previously also available on NRK Radio. Videos published on the NRK P3 YouTube channel were made private late 2022. Some videos were published again on their homepage, but not this performance.

The Radio Hamburg session was broadcast on March 8, 2016, and published on their homepage. It is not linked there anymore, but the video still works.

Not much is known about the older NRK P3 session. The earliest known post of it is from an unofficial channel.
