lyrics

Your lecture’s easy to predict
A statue in the mirror
A neighbour to your intellect
You never dare get nearer

So you’ve never had control
Of the climate of your soul
You’re just an unplayed piano
Uh oh, uh oh

No keys to your doors ever fit
So you just use white roses
With thoughts you struggle to evict
You just increase the dosage

So you’ve never had control
Of the climate of your soul
You’re just an unplayed piano
Uh oh, uh oh

Let your hammers sing
Let notes dance on string
‘Cause you’re only silencing yourself
Your only silence is yourself

Your nature keeps you in a cage
That’s where you feel safer
With loss and bitterness and rage
Like an old newspaper

So you’ve never had control
Of the climate of your soul
You’re just an unplayed piano
Uh oh, uh oh

Let your hammers sing
Let notes dance on string
‘Cause you’re only silencing yourself
Your only silence is yourself
You’re only silencing yourself
Your only silence is yourself
