Radical Face "The Mute" lyrics

The Mute

Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my headI had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the deadAnd they thought me broken, that my tongue was coated leadBut I just couldn't make my words make sense to themIf you only listen with your ears...I can't get in

And I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the skyAnd I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lieAnd in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant livesAnd I would dress myself up in them through the nightWhile my folks would sleep in separate beds...And wonder why

And through them days I was a ghost atop my chairMy dad considered me a cross he had to bearAnd in my head I'd sing apologies and stareAs my mom would hang the clothes across the lineAnd she would try to keep the empty...From her eyes

So, then one afternoon I dressed myself aloneI packed my pillowcase with everything I ownedAnd in my head I said "goodbye," then I was goneAnd I set out on the heels of the unknownSo my folks could have a new life of their ownSo that maybe I could find someoneWho could hear the only words that I'd known

Pa, kao dete najviše sam pričao u svojoj glaviRazgovarao sa oblacima, psima, umrlimaI oni su mislili da sam slomljen, da mi je jezik olovom obloženAli ja jednostavno nisam mogao da im objasnim svoje rečiAko biste samo slušali svojim ušima...Ne mogu da uđem

I provodio sam večeri istiskujući zvezde sa nebaI raspoređivao ih na livadi na kojoj bih ležaoI na vetru okusio bih snove dalekih životaI ogrnuo bih se njima tokom noćiDok bi moji matorci spavali u razdvojenim krevetima...I pitali se zašto

I danima sam bio duh na svojoj stoliciOtac je na mene gledao kao na krst koji mora da nosiI u mojoj glavi pevušio bih izvinjenja i gledao bihDok bi moja majka kačila vešI pokušavala da održi prazninu...Iz svojih očiju

I onda sam jednog popodneva ogrnuo sebe samoćomU jastučnice spakovao sve što sam posedovaoI u svojoj glavi rekao sam "Zbogom", onda sam nestaoI na petama sam se zaputio u nepoznatoDa bi moji matorci mogli da vode svoj novi život samiDa bih možda pronašao nekogKo bi mogao da čuje jedine reči koje sam ikada znao
