I opened up my mouth
But no words came
And I lay down to sleep
But I did not dream
I looked up to the stars but the sky was dark
Like a mirror held up to my heart
Take away this alphabet
It's heavy on my tongue
You can want a thing, so bad, it seems
That you lose yourself and everybody else
So I got down on my knees on the marble floor
And I cried until my throat was sore
Tell me what you want from me
I'll do it all I swear
I was knocked out
I was awake
I prayed I'd open so I'd have to break
To let the light come in
Take this alphabet from me
It's heavy on my tongue
