Nothing's Coming Out

歌詞

When the voice of reason becomes an act of treason Against who you are and what your word demands When my mouth is quiet in the face of public riot Against what your voice so lovingly commands Chorus: Forgive me for my weakness I'd like to call it meekness But I shudder at the anger of the crowd My quiet lips are pouting When I know I should be shouting Rome is burning, I should say it loud Please forgive me – nothing's coming out When my eyes are blinded by culture and the diet Of whatever junk the world would feed my mind When my heart is neutered my spirit is polluted With "noble" things that I won't leave behind Chorus Bridge: I hear your voice, I close my eyes I give myself to easy lies I tell myself that silence isn't cruel You had my heart you had my ear Your word was once so very dear So how did I become this silent fool? X2 Chorus
