Mute

I made mountains, I shook the earth below
Flood from the fountain, I carved my name in stone
And I stood on the mountain with nothing in the way
Feet firm on the mountain with no voice to speak
And nothing left to say
The heart beats in your breath
So in breathing, be for a while
Not yours but our breath
Not yours but our breath
It's not yours
You breathe with me
And speak in this broken and empty voice
Of ours
The world breathes you 'til dead you lie
Won't you sing to me for a while?
My voice is your voice
Not yours but our voice
So rejoice, ensnared with me
Enchained in this stasis that left me mute

And I've seen how soon we erase
Illuminate and save us both
And I, I swear, I'll do what it takes
Illuminate the way back home and run into light
But fixed there by defeat, I was feet-firm when the ground gave way
I am the silence you deserve
You've no redemption coming
Oh, look at you, smiling as you lie
The gift you have for taking
Are you still waiting for the colour from the hate
You thought you could hide in you?

So who could save me now?
There was no salvation when the river ran dry
Oh, so many times that I put out that fire
But who could save me now?
In the muse, a liar sedating me
Show no mercy, I'll take a final bow

But who could save me now?
It was you that held the line
You fought that fight
And in the year we died, you found yourself alive
But who could love me now that I am broken?
That I am this?
These shards of broken glass, the future in my hands
Who could love me now?
Hope left, but I made mountains
Find the road, illuminate it

Hm
Hm, hm
Hm

I've seen the view as it wakes
Illuminate and crave for hope again
I swear, I'll do what it takes
Illuminate, I'm running home on

On the road to ruin, I started walkin'
With gauze still in my mouth and tried to keep from choking
But on the road to ruin, we let the ground give way
With one voice to speak, and everything to save
