Mute Lyrics


I made mountains, I shook the earth below

Flood from the fountain, I carved my name in stone

And I stood on the mountain with nothing in the way

Feet firm on the mountain with no voice to speak

And nothing left to say

The heart beats in your breath

So in breathing, be for a while

Not yours but our breath

Not yours but our breath

It's not yours

You breathe with me

And speak in this broken and empty voice

Of ours

The world breathes you till dead you lie

Won't you sing to me for a while?

My voice is your voice

Not yours but our voice

So rejoice, ensnared with me

Enchained in this stasis that left me mute

And I've seen how soon we erase

Illuminate and save us both

And I, I swear, I'll do what it takes

Illuminate the way back home and run into light

But fixed there by defeat

I was feet-firm when the ground gave way

I am the silence you deserve

You've no redemption coming

Oh, look at you, smiling as you lie

The gift you have for taking

Are you still waiting for the colour from the hate

You thought you could hide in you?

So who could save me now?

There was no salvation when the river ran dry

Oh, so many times that I put out that fire

But who could save me now?

In the muse, a liar sedating me

Show no mercy, I'll take a final bow

But who could save me now?

It was you that held the line

You fought that fight

And in the year we died, you found yourself alive

But who could love me now that I am broken?

That I am this?

These shards of broken glass, the future in my hands

Who could love me now?

Hope left, but I made mountains

Find the road, illuminate it

I've seen the view as it wakes

Illuminate and crave for hope again

I swear, I'll do what it takes

Illuminate, I'm running home on

On the road to ruin

I started walkin' with gauze still in my mouth

And tried to keep from choking

On the road to ruin, we let the ground give way

With one voice to speak, and everything to save
