When Mute Tongues Can Speak Lyrics - Posies

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 could freeze without them 

I never knew how to fear correctly 

When we were seven we would 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 expensive painful 

Windbreaker is torn 

Friendly tree has scars 

Experience is necessary to be normal 

I never knew how to fear correctly 

When we were seven we would hit directly 

By some misgiving that you dealt ineptly 

All was forgiven when you knelt to help me 

It's me...
