CTell me a piece of your history
that you're Gproud to call your Cown
CSpeak in words you picked up
as you Gwalked through life aClone.
CWe used to swim in your stories
and be Gpulled down by their Ctide,
Cchoking on the words
and drowning with no Gair insCide.
Now you've Emhit a wall and it's Cnot your fault
my Gdear, my dear, my Ddear.
Now you've Emhit a wall and you've Chit it hard,
my Gdear, my dear, oh Ddear.
CIt is not enGough to be Ddumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
Cyou must have the Gwords in that Emhead of yoBurs.
And Coh, oh, can you Gfeel the silence?
EmI can't take it Danymore,
'cause Cit is not enGough to be Ddumbstruck.

Tell me a piece of your history
that you've never said out loud.
Pull the rug beneath my feet
and shake me to the ground.
Wrap me around your fingers,
break the silence open wide,
and before it seeps into my ears,
it fills me up from the inside.
Now you've hit a wall and you're lost for words,
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Now you've hit a wall and you hit it hard
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours.
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)

If you Cgive it a name, then it's already won.
What you Ggood for, what you Dgood for?
If you Cgive it a name, then it's already won.
What you Ggood for, what you Dgood for?
If you Cgive it a name, then it's Galready won.
What you Dgood for, what you good for?
If you Cgive it a name, then it's Galready won.
What you Emgood for, what you Dgood for?
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours.
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore,
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh.
