When Mute Tongues Can Speak lyrics

When mute tongues can speak

And relate their need,

I make fun of skins laying in a dark room

In a piglet's eye,

If the dream had wings,

Then the nest of feathers

Would freeze without them

I never learned how to fear correctly

When we were seven, we were hit directly

By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly

All was forgiven when you knelt to help me

See the boy of smiles

With the teardrop shape

Shuddering and crying

With the wind knocked from him

And the kids just stare

Is this guy for real?

Some mistakes are all too apparent

It's nothing personal, just a lousy memory

Dissected birds are my adopted family

I pool myself until I see anemones

All was forgiven when you knelt to help me

In a can of boys

Across a crowd of thorns,

Everyone is laughing, all expenses painful

Windbreaker is torn

Friendly tree has scars

Experience is necessary to be normal

I never learned how to fear correctly

When we were seven, we were hit directly

By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly

All was forgiven when you knelt to help me

It's me

It’s me

It’s me

It’s me

It’s me
