Standard (EADGBE)

 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

Bridge

 [ | | | ]

I'm creeping back to life

 My nervous system all awry

I'm wearing the inside out

Bridge with solo

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
