Canary in a Coal Mine

Silence is so deafening
I can hear the clock for the first time
All we used to do is scream
Don't know if I'll be here for the last time
Cause you're gripping on a kite in a hurricane
"Stay with me" you plea as I drift away

But gluing back a hundred shards of reflective glass
Isn't the same, is it?
And holding back each time I wanna pour my heart out
Isn't the way, is it?
Strange for me to think this had potential though
Time and time and time again

Where was the canary in this coal mine?
I choked on my tears a minute ago
But swear I'm fine
Where was the canary in this coal mine?
I kept coming back for seconds
And lost so much precious time

I guess loss isn't comfortable
And neither is change
And one final push would be deranged

But gluing back a hundred shards of reflective glass
Isn't the same, is it?
And holding back each time I wanna pour my heart out
Isn't the way, is it?
Dumb of me to think this had potential though
Time and time and time again

Where was the canary in this coal mine?
I forgot to leave my bed this week
But swear I'm fine
Where was the canary in this coal mine?
I kept coming back for seconds
And lost so much precious time

I guess loss isn't comfortable
And neither is change
And one final push would be deranged
But I guess I'll stay
Cause that's easier, anyway
