Car Radio / Heathens (MTV Unplugged Live)

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know it's dire, my time today
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Sometimes quiet is violent
I find it hard to hide it, my pride is no longer inside
It's on my sleeve, my skin will scream
Reminding me of who I killed inside my dream
I hate this car that I'm driving, there's no hiding for me
I'm forced to deal with what I feel
There is no distraction to mask what is real
I could pull the steering wheel

I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence

Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

All my friends are heathens, take it slow (oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Wait for them to ask you who you know (oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Please don't make any sudden moves (oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
You don't know the half of the abuse (oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)

I ponder of something terrifying
'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind
I find over the course of our human existence
One thing consists of consistence
And it's that we're all battling fear
Oh, dear, I don't know if we know why we're here
Oh, my, too deep, please stop thinking
I liked it better when my car had sound
There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win and fear will lose
And there's faith and there's sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake and to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think

Try to think, try to think
Try to think, try to think

I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought (try to think)
'Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just try to think
Try to think, try to think

All my friends are heathens, take it slow (try to think, try to think)
Wait for them to ask you who you know (try to think, try to think)
Please don't make any sudden moves (try to think, try to think)
You don't know the half of the abuse (try to think, try to think)

Woah oh woah oh-oh, woah oh woah oh-oh
Woah oh woah oh-oh

And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit in silence
And now I just sit

(Woah oh woah oh-oh, woah oh woah oh-oh)
And now I just sit in silence (try to think, try to think)
(Woah oh woah oh-oh, woah oh woah oh-oh)
And now I just sit in silence (try to think, try to think)
(Woah oh woah oh-oh, woah oh woah oh-oh)
(Try to think, try to think)
(Woah oh woah oh-oh, woah oh woah oh-oh)
And now I just sit (try to think)

I ponder of something great
My lungs will fill and then deflate
They fill with fire, exhale desire
I know it's dire, my time today
I have these thoughts so often, I ought
To replace that slot with what I once bought
'Cause somebody stole my car radio
And now I just sit in silence
