What Do You Hear In These Sounds

I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak
I go and I find the one and only answer every week
And it's just me and all the memories to follow
Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour
And we fathom all the mysteries, explicit and inherent
When I hit a rut, she says to try the other parent
And she's so kind, I think she wants to tell me something,
But she knows that its much better if I get it for myself...
And she says

What do you hear in these sounds?
What do you hear in these sounds?

I say I hear a doubt, with the voice of true believing
And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving
And she says "Oh," I say, "What?" she says, "Exactly,"
I say, "What, you think I'm angry
Does that mean you think I'm angry?"
She says "Look, you come here every week
With jigsaw pieces of your past
Its all on little soundbytes and voices out of photographs
And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map
So tell me, where does the arrow point to?
Who invented roses?"
and...

What do you hear in these sounds?
What do you hear in these sounds?

And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think
That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink
But oh how I loved everybody else
When I finally got to talk so much about myself...

And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in
And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin
I had this wall and what I knew of the free world
Was that I could see their fireworks
And I could hear their radio
And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing
And they'd know that I was scared
They'd would know that I was guessing
But the wall came down and there they stood before me
With their stumbling and their mumbling
And their calling out just like me, and...

The stories that nobody hears, and...

I collect these sounds in my ears, and...

That's what I hear in these sounds, and...

That's what I hear in these,
That's what I hear in these sounds.

Mirror lyrics:

That's what I hear in these sounds.
That's what I hear in these,

That's what I hear in these sounds, and...

I collect these sounds in my ears, and...

The stories that nobody hears, and...

And their calling out just like me, and...
With their stumbling and their mumbling
But the wall came down and there they stood before me
They'd would know that I was guessing
And they'd know that I was scared
And I thought that if we met, I would only start confessing
And I could hear their radio
Was that I could see their fireworks
I had this wall and what I knew of the free world
And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin
And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in

When I finally got to talk so much about myself...
But oh how I loved everybody else
That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink
And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think

What do you hear in these sounds?
What do you hear in these sounds?

and...
Who invented roses?"
So tell me, where does the arrow point to?
And that's all yours, that's the guide, that's the map
Its all on little soundbytes and voices out of photographs
With jigsaw pieces of your past
She says "Look, you come here every week
Does that mean you think I'm angry?"
I say, "What, you think I'm angry
And she says "Oh," I say, "What?" she says, "Exactly,"
And the promises to stay, and the footsteps that are leaving

Down any course that fits within a fifty minute hour
And it's just me and all the memories to follow
I go and I find the one and only answer every week
I don't go to therapy to find out if I'm a freak
