From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn´t recognize I´d become
No more than alive I´d barely survive
In a word...overrun

Won´t hear a sound
From my mouth
I´ve spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart´s
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don´t even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by the light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I´m creeping back to life
My nervous system all awry
I´m wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He´s paler somehow
But he´s coming around
He´s starting to choke
It´s been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I´m holding out
For the day
When all the coulds
Have blown away
I´m with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

He´s curled into the corner
But still the screen is flickering
With an endless stream of garbage to...curse the place
In a sea of random images
The self-destructing animal
Waiting for the waves to break

He´s standing on the threshold
Caught in fiery anger
And hurled into the furnace he´ll...curse the place
He´s torn in all directions
And still the screen is flickering
Waiting for the flames to break
