Muted Song

Make me feel extraordinary once again Please don’t notice the scars upon my soul The light is slowly dimming from my mind The angels have long stopped their redeeming call But I am colour blind to your pain I couldn’t see all of the blood upon the floor This feeling inside is so out of control I can no longer see what exists behind this hidden door But I didn’t come this far to drown To fall, to stumble, to break down This is my muted song This is my wordless scream Let me fall and bump my head Wake my up from this living dream My mind is fast outrunning me, I think I’ll miss it most of all, Spin me around one more time Stop me before I start to fall. My heart cannot sing for you no more The rip goes deeper than you know I have to pretend that it doesn’t hurt The words, the smile, are part of the show The clothes on the floor don’t belong to me anymore I outgrew them long ago like I out grew you long before But I’m still trying to make you see through this mess That looks go far beneath the surface But I didn’t come this far to drown To fall, to stumble, to break down This is my muted song This is my wordless scream Let me fall and bump my head Wake my up from this living dream My mind is fast outrunning me, I think I’ll miss is most of all, Spin me around one more time Stop me before I start to fall.
