  • Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're not moving?
    What about the birds you got stuck on your ceiling, chirping?
    I breathe in but I choke, little things make a landslide go
    If I knew just the pin to hold in I'd build walls and you know, you know I would

    My hand is faster than the pen but the end has been written down
    Still the ink will not dry, undermined by a hope that I'm wrong

    Open up, open up

    I see your roses grew noses and noses go and get broken
    And there's a hope, there's a place, there's a sickened feeling
    I look into the space that defaced my belief in
    Where we are, what it means, and what did you say your name was?
    Well say it again

    Open up, open up

    Mind is faster than pen but the end is so stupid
    Like bubblegum in your hair isn't fair but it smells good
    Breathe in but you choke, but you choke on a mouthful
    Of everything that you hoped, that you hoped was not there
    But it's here, it's here

    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough

    Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're all sleeping?
    Is it me or you who would stop yelling and screaming?
    And there's a place with the lows and frequencies we're hearing

    Open up, open up

    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough, that's enough
    Open up, open up
    That's enough Writer/s: ALISON MOSSHART, JACK WHITE
