0:07I can't recall where I left left my mind
0:12I left my mind
0:14It's somewhere in the rubble of an argument
0:17And hard to find it's hard to find
0:21I watched as the words were formed
0:25And left your mouth left your mouth
0:28And how you tried to put them back
0:32Once they were out once they were out
0:36And how I envy the birds
0:40I envy the birds
0:43Soaring in the silence
0:47Soaring in the silence
0:58You raised your voice more and more
1:02Into a scream into a scream
1:05Spraying bullets of grievances
1:09Carelessly carelessly
1:12It took so long to get nowhere
1:16It got so loud it got so loud
1:19And in my mind I disappeared
1:23Into the clouds into the clouds
1:29And how I envy the birds
1:33I envy the birds
1:36Soaring in the silence
1:40Soaring in the silence
1:43'Cause when we speak without words
1:47Then no one gets hurt
1:50It's safer where it's quiet
1:54It's safer when it's quiet
2:31Speak without words
2:33No one gets hurt
2:35Speak without words
2:37No one gets hurt
2:39It's safer where it's quiet
2:48Speak without words
2:50No one gets hurt
2:52Speak without words
2:54No one gets hurt
2:56It's safer when it's quiet
3:04Speak without words
3:07No one gets hurt
3:09Speak without words
3:11No one gets hurt
3:13It's safer where it's quiet
3:21Speak without words
3:24No one gets hurt
3:26Speak without words
3:28No one gets hurt
3:30It's safer when it's quiet
3:38It's safer where it's quiet
I can't recall where I left left my mind I left my mind It's somewhere in the rubble of an argument And hard to find it's hard to find I watched as the words were formed And left your mouth left your mouth And how you tried to put them back Once they were out once they were out And how I envy the birds I envy the birds Soaring in the silence Soaring in the silence You raised your voice more and more Into a scream into a scream Spraying bullets of grievances Carelessly carelessly It took so long to get nowhere It got so loud it got so loud And in my mind I disappeared Into the clouds into the clouds And how I envy the birds I envy the birds Soaring in the silence Soaring in the silence 'Cause when we speak without words Then no one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet It's safer when it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer when it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer when it's quiet It's safer where it's quiet
