They say it comes in waves but it makes no sound

But it's more like a trickle and now I'm standing here with water all around

I am lost in the mire

I am caught

Paralysed

And words still make no sound

Remember all the times you had to turn away

And entertain the thought of going straight again

And words still make no sound

Clever boy you found yourself another way of digging in your heels and stepping on the brakes

And words still make no sound

It cuts through the din like a whisper in the rain

It comes creeping in and now I'm waist deep in the water once again

The tide is high and the river's overflowing

And still I don't know which way I'm going

I will wade out to the other side

I will drown in truths I can't deny

I am lost in the mire

I am caught

Paralysed

And words still make no sound

Remember all the times you had to turn away

And entertain the thought of going straight again

And words still make no sound

Clever boy you found yourself another way of digging in your heels and stepping on the brakes

And words still make no sound

And words still make no sound
