[00:16.18]Your words are bits of broken glass
[00:20.11]That wound the silence as they pass
[00:24.08]You build a cage of heavy lead
[00:27.05]Inside the labyrinth of your head
[00:31.93]You try to drag the colors down
[00:35.90]And dress the spirit in a gown
[00:39.85]Of cynicism, cold and tight
[00:42.83]I turn my face toward the light
[00:48.01]I bite my lip
[00:51.89]I bite my lip
[00:55.57]To keep the ocean in the ship
[00:57.62]It is the seal upon the door
[00:59.84]I don't live there anymore
[01:03.50]I taste the iron, sharp and sweet
[01:07.44]And watch the silence conquer heat
[01:11.39]A little pain to keep the grip
[01:15.53]I bite my lip
[01:17.56]I bite my lip
[01:19.21]I take a step into the blue
[01:23.17]Away from the distorting view
[01:27.08]You offer me a poisoned wine
[01:30.10]And demand I say that it is fine
[01:34.97]But I have built a glass facade
[01:38.93]Between the dancer and the god
[01:42.86]I watch your words dissolve in air
[01:45.78]Like smoke that isn't really there
[01:50.93]I bite my lip
[01:54.84]I bite my lip
[01:56.88]To keep the ocean in the ship
[02:00.54]It is the seal upon the door
[02:02.77]I don't live there anymore
[02:06.38]I taste the iron, sharp and sweet
[02:10.29]And watch the silence conquer heat
[02:14.21]A little pain to keep the grip
[02:15.88]I bite my lip
[02:18.31]I bite my lip
[02:37.60]The truth is fluid, yours is dry
[02:41.54]A brittle and constructed lie
[02:45.39]I wrap myself in velvet thoughts
[02:48.47]Untying all your angry knots
[02:52.24]I do not fight, I do not break
[02:56.14]I simply watch the surface shake
[03:00.04]And let the ugly river run
[03:03.89]Until the noise is completely done
[03:09.67]The crimson line between your chaos
[03:13.68]And what is mine I hold the breath
[03:16.88]I hold the tongue
[03:20.91]The song is over before it's sung
[03:24.64]I bite my lip
[03:28.50]And let it pass
