Silent Muse

But in every waking day
The gains far outweigh
The fear to fall
So I try to have it all
And when you come to me
I feel my heart bleed
But that's normal
I won't die
So I pretend to fly

Then you start to speak
And my brains out for weeks
Can't think of what to say
So I watch you slip away
And I grasp at what to do
Because I'm too lost to lose
And I can't see the truth
What's love if you don't love yourself

Is it ok to wait
To breathe or take a break
Is it fine I don't know why
I can't look you in the eye
When you ask how I feel
Is that time to be real
But I shake and look away
And you think I try to play

And then you start to speak
And my brains out for weeks
Can't think of what to say
So I watch you slip away
And I grasp at what to do
Because I'm too lost to lose
And I can't see the truth
What's love if you don't love yourself
But then you start to speak
And my brains out for weeks
Can't think of what to say
So I watch you slip away
And I grasp at what to do
Because I'm too lost to lose
And I can't see the truth
What's love if you don't love yourself

So I stop and look away
And tell myself it's ok
I learn how to breathe
You steal my breath as you leave
And on my drive home
Even though I'm alone
There's no music in my thought
My muse is silent for what?

And I start to bleed
And I'm too lost to lead
There's so much I want to say
But I let it drift away
And your face fades from view
And there's so much life to lose
So I can find the truth
What's love if I don't love myself
And I start to bleed
And I'm too lost to lead
There's so much I want to say
But I let it drift away
And your face fades from view
And there's so much life to lose
So I can find the truth
What's love if I don't love myself
