Mute

Worn but back on my feet
I long for recognition
Words unfold, familiar to me
Echo from afar

Once we’re back on the street
I’m under your protection
Without being able to speak
Put on silent mode

I was the one who played with fire
I used to synchronize
But now I find myself
Taking comfort in the underground
So many places to admire
Never could have realized
Staying quiet, mute as I‘m falling down

I guess it’s easy
To misinterpret my reaction
It’s getting harder to breathe
When you’re left out from the flow

Darling don’t get me wrong
You’re my favorite companion
My heart’s just aching to feel
Some other form of connection

I was the one who played with fire
I used to synchronize
But now I find myself
Taking comfort in the underground
So many places to admire
Never could have realized
Staying quiet, mute as I‘m falling down
