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.
