[00:00.16]Radical Face - The Mute
[00:22.23]Well as a child I mostly spoke
[00:24.16]Inside my head
[00:27.47]I had conversations with the clouds
[00:29.54]The dogs the dead
[00:32.77]And they thought my broken
[00:34.08]That my tongue was coated lead
[00:35.99]But I just couldn't make my words
[00:38.25]Make sense to them
[00:40.53]If you only listen with your ears
[00:43.70]I can't get in
[00:49.10]And I spent my evenings pulling stars
[00:51.27]Out of the sky
[00:54.53]And I'd arrange them on the lawn
[00:56.58]Where I would lie
[00:59.93]And in the wind I'd taste the dreams
[01:02.00]Of distant lives
[01:03.04]And I would dress myself up
[01:04.85]In them through the night
[01:07.73]While my folks would sleep
[01:08.95]In separate beds
[01:12.74]And wonder why
[01:56.85]And through them days
[01:57.91]I was a ghost atop my chair
[02:02.13]My dad considered me a cross
[02:04.31]He had to bear
[02:07.55]And in my head I'd sing apologies
[02:10.22]And stare
[02:11.11]As my mom would hang
[02:12.33]The clothes across the line
[02:15.06]And she would try to keep
[02:16.52]The empty from her eyes
[02:23.44]So then one afternoon
[02:25.07]I dressed myself alone
[02:29.22]I packed my pillowcase with
[02:30.86]Everything I owned
[02:34.62]And in my head I said goodbye
[02:36.72]Then I was gone
[02:38.12]And I set out on the heels
[02:40.02]Of the unknown
[02:42.46]So my folks could have a new life
[02:44.57]Of their own
[02:46.83]And that maybe
[02:47.57]I could find someone
[02:50.23]Who could hear the only words
[02:53.29]That I'd known
