lyrics

I find if I remain absolutely quiet
It’s as if I disappear
Transparency sustained, I am absent, I am silent
I swear to God I’m not even here
They tell me I should pray
They say that I’ll find hope in God’s word
But everything’s the same
And every prayer I prayed made no difference
They all went unheard

I’ve got my tongue armed with all the right words to say to you
But my lungs just aren’t capable of spitting out oxygen
So don’t bother listening

Secrets collecting inside my brain
And I can’t hide, I can’t find escape
With regrets suspecting that I hold the blame
In my mind I’m consumed by a coward’s mistakes
My face is no more than a stranger’s reflection
I no longer recognize
Disgraced by assumptions and distorted perceptions
I’m just as much dead as alive

I’ve got my tongue armed with all the right words to say to you
But my lungs just aren’t capable of spitting out oxygen
So don’t bother listening

My life is my alibi and I’m slowly learning
That maybe I’ve not thought this through
So please tell me why this life sentence I’m serving
Has been handed to me and not you?

I’ve got my tongue armed with all the right words to say to you
I’ve got my tongue armed with all the right words to say to you
Turns out my lungs are capable of spitting out oxygen
Declaring my innocence
