Tell me a piece of your historythat you're proud to call your ownSpeak in words you picked upas you walked through life aloneWe used to swim in your storiesand be pulled down by their tidechoking on the wordsand drowning with no air insideNow you've hit a wall and it's not your faultmy dear, my dear, my dearNow you've hit a wall and you've hit it hardmy dear, my dear, oh dearIt is not enough to be dumbstruck(Can you fill the silence?)you must have the words in that head of yoursAnd 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?)Tell me a piece of your historythat you've never said out loudPull the rug beneath my feetand shake me to the groundWrap me around your fingersbreak the silence open wideand before it seeps into my earsit fills me up from the insideNow you've hit a wall and you're lost for wordsmy dear, my dear, my dearNow you've hit a wall and you hit it hardmy dear, my dear, oh dearIt is not enough to be dumbstruck(Can you fill this silence?)you must have the words in that head of yoursAnd 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 give it a name, then it's already wonWhat you good for, what you good for?If you give it a name, then it's already wonWhat you good for, what you good for?If you give it a name, then it's already wonWhat you good for, what you good for?If you give it a name, then it's already wonWhat you good for, what you good for?It is not enough to be dumbstruck(Can you fill this silence?)you must have the words in that head of yoursAnd oh, oh, can you feel the silence?I can't take it anymore'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh
