lyrics
Blaring through the walls afraid to be alone,
Tuning out i compress in my headphones,
Convert my surroundings for five seconds at a time,
For five seconds where I'm real, and I'm thinking how nothing sells like fear,
White label, back to work, shaded in hyper-speed,
Incandescent fingertips run through your hair,
Enter all the things I miss with frequency and uncertainty,
I can't speak again, so i won't speak,
I turn to see my lips across the room talking to me on the wall,
I don't recognize my voice but I feel it,
Somewhere between light and sound,
Vibrations in the air press my cheekbones,
The walls are moving further away,
My lips are gone,
I can’t speak again, I can’t speak again, I can’t speak again…
I can’t speak again, I can’t speak again, I can’t speak again…
I can’t speak again, I can’t speak again, so I won’t speak.
