When I wanted to say so
A hand over my mouth
Bite the flesh for someone to talk to
And spit it all back out
All I had was redundant
All I made was a fool
Any words I might have dressed up
Crouched down in the vestibule
We can't stop screaming at the sky
Words shatter against the clouds
Ideas fall to earth and die
We can't stop screaming at the sky
The place where we want to be
The place where we end up
There's a way to be voiceless
And still scream up a storm
Writing our names in a bloody scrawl
Read it aloud while the ink is still warm
Need the key for a locked door
Need a room calm and old
I want to hold onto what is mine
I want the words to leave you cold
All to say, you might not
Not see how it works out
"There's nothing living on the face of the world"
