muzzle

i fear that i am ordinary

just like everyone

to lie here and die among the sorrows

adrift among the days



for everything i've ever said

and everything i've ever done is gone

and dead



as all things must surely have to end

and great loves will one day have to part

i know that i am meant for this world



my life has been extraordinary

blessed and cursed and won

time heals but i'm forever broken

by and by the way



have you ever heard the words i'm singing in these songs

it's for the girl i've loved all alone

can a taste of love be so wrong



as all things must surely have to end

and great loves will one day have to part

i know that i am meant for this world



and in my mind as i was floating

far among the clouds

some children laughed i'd fall for certain

for thinking that i'd last forever



but i knew exactly where i was

and i knew the meaning of it all

and i knew the distance to the sun

and i knew the echo that is love

and i knew the secrets in your spires

and i knew the emptiness of youth

and i knew the solitude of heart

and i knew the murmurs of the soul



and the world is drawn into your hands

and the world is etched upon your heart

and the world so hard to understand

is the world that you can't live without



and i knew the silence of the world

and i knew the silence of the world

and i knew the silence of the world

and i knew the silence of the world
