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 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 round 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 clouds
Have blown away I'm with you now
Can speak your name Now we can hear
Ourselves again
