From morning to night I stayed out of sight
  Didn't recognize I'd become
  No more than alive I'd barely survive
  In a word...overrun
    Won't hear a sound
  From my mouth
  I've spent too long
  On the inside out
  My skin is cold
  To the human touch
  This bleeding heart's
  Not beating much
    I murmured a vow of silence and now
  I don't even hear when I think aloud
  Extinguished by light I turn on the night
  Wear its darkness with an empty smile
    I'm creeping back to life
  My nervous system all awry
  I'm wearing the inside out
    Look at him now
  He's paler somehow
  But he's coming round
  He's starting to choke
  It's been so long since he spoke
  Well he can have the words right from my mouth
    And with these words I can see
  Clear through the clouds that covered me
  Just give it time then speak my name
  Now we can hear ourselves again
    I'm holding out
  For the day
  When all the clouds
  Have blown away
  I'm with you now
  Can speak your name
  Now we can hear
  Ourselves again
