lyrics

You’ve seen how I disappear
When I think no one’s watching me.
You can see it in my eyes that I am gone.
When you think you know me well,
How softly I retreat inside myself
Like a waning moon, a sleeping ember.

Around me the muffled
conversations drone
I find myself alone,
I find myself alone,
Holding my deepest doubts
In my quiet mouth
In my coward mouth.

You’ve seen how I disappear
To leave you with this broken souvenir:
Just a skeleton of who you think I am
So here we sit with silence on our lips,
With ink marks on our tongues and fingertips
How we’ve tried to know and let ourselves be known

Around us the muffled
conversations drone
I find myself alone,
we find ourselves alone,
Holding our deepest doubts
In our quiet mouths
In our coward mouths.

I’ve felt my darkness forgetting
the nothing that darkness is,
the nothing that darkness is
and I’ve heard my shadows confessing
all their absences,
all their absences.
