The Mute Lyrics - Radical Face

Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head 

I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead 

And they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead 

But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them 

If you only listen with your ears... I can't get in 

And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the sky 

And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie 

And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives 

And I would dress myself up in them through the night 

While my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why 

And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair 

My dad considered me a cross he had to bear 

And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare 

As my mom would hang the clothes across the line 

And she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes

So, then one afternoon I dressed myself alone 

I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned 

And in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone 

And I set out on the heels of the unknown 

So my folks could have a new life of their own 

So that maybe I could find someone 

Who could hear the only words that I'd known
