Could you take the sharpest needle And push it through my lips? And please use the strongest thread To sew my mouth shut Cause I must bitterly admit I've failed to bite my tongue Time and again I have failed To lock up these thoughts Keep them hostage to my mind Wading through the sea of shards I threw at our feet I never meant to let us bleed Every incision is a reminder That so much hides between the lines we speak I truly hope our hearts can mend Your chants of hope Lighten up the darkest nights And drown out the noise of thunder Forced upon you Don't let these bleak prospects Get the best of you You've taught me it's darkest before dawn So please hold on to your dreams Could I guess the damage done When these thoughts escaped Rest assured I could never be Indifferent about you But my words can only fail To stop the ringing in our ears So with a heavy heart I impose silence upon myself I impose silence upon myself Upon myself Upon myself Upon myself
