Cathedral Bell

I hear sounds that my mouth didn’t make

I hear words that you don’t ever say

There’s a door, there’s a door to the cage

I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid yet

I see patterns of light in the dark

When the red opens up, there’s a star

In the sensory cave that you made; I lie awake

I’m still awake

I can’t move, like I’m stuck in the mud, I’m up to my neck

Face in the flood, my feet in cement. Hey—

I’m confused by the shapes in the dark

The thoughts in my head

I know I’m alive, I thought I was dead

I’ve got moves to make but I can’t move

I’ve got moves to make but I can’t move

There’s a light at the top of the stairs

I wanna know what goes on up there

Live a life in a world outside

Tell me why? So tell me why

I can’t move, like I’m stuck in the mud, I’m up to my neck

Face in the flood, my feet in cement. Hey—

I’m confused by the shapes in the dark

The thoughts in my head

I know I’m alive, I thought I was dead

I don’t have words so I made them myself and now the silence rings like a cathedral bell

I can’t move, like I’m stuck in a box with no room to stretch

Alone with my thoughts. So what happens next?

I’ve got moves to make but I can’t move

I’ve got moves to make but I can’t move

I can’t move, like I’m stuck in the mud, I’m up to my neck

Face in the flood, my feet in cement. Hey—

I’m confused by the shapes in the dark

The thoughts in my head

I know I’m alive, I thought I was dead
