Words - Umphrey's McGee

But they wouldn’t be heard anyway, would they

The minimum required is what the offer is

And that’s all you give

Stranded above all the friction here

Your motives aren’t clear enough to see

I will be unstable

I’m not just a passerby

I hate sudden changes

Speechless again with no time to spare

Could you pretend that you care just once for me

At least for a while put your guards away

There’s no one to blame

Words can’t hear this silent ear

(fear won’t leave here first)

Certain sigh

Why frame time to time spent near

(nearness loses sights)

Sight signed off

Words can’t hear this silent ear

(fear won’t leave here first)

Certain sigh

Your words occur to me sometimes

Align the reasons why we’re here

And walk on a clear wire

Trapeze Jesus

Words can’t hear this silent ear

(fear won’t leave here first)

Certain sigh

Why frame time to time spent near

(nearness loses sights)

Sight signed off

Cautious and slow

So quick to lunge

Brain to tongue

To find I’m the only one

The only one that’s fit to choose

Another side, another tool

And what makes up your silver spoon

That makes you want to live again
