FTell me a piece of your history
that you're Cproud to call your Fown
FSpeak in words you picked up
as you Cwalked through life aFlone.
FWe used to swim in your stories
and be Cpulled down by their Ftide,
Fchoking on the words
and drowning with no Cair insFide.
Now you've Amhit a wall and it's Fnot your fault
my Cdear, my dear, my Gdear.
Now you've Amhit a wall and you've Fhit it hard,
my Cdear, my dear, oh Gdear.

And Foh, oh, can you Cfeel the silence?

'cause Fit is not enCough to be Gdumbstruck.

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 Fgive it a name, then it's already won.
What you Cgood for, what you Ggood for?
If you Fgive it a name, then it's already won.
What you Cgood for, what you Ggood for?
If you Fgive it a name, then it's Calready won.
What you Ggood for, what you good for?
If you Fgive it a name, then it's Calready won.
What you Amgood for, what you Ggood 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.
