Envy the Birds lyrics

I can't recall where I left— I left my mind, I left my mind It's somewhere in the rubble of an argument And hard to find, it's hard to find I watched as the words were formed And left your mouth, left your mouth And how you tried to put them back Once they were out, once they were out And how I envy the birds I envy the birds Soaring in the silence Soaring in the silence You raised your voice more and more Into a scream, into a scream Spraying bullets of grievances Carelessly, carelessly It took so long to get nowhere It got so loud, it got so loud And in my mind I disappeared Into the clouds, into the clouds And how I envy the birds I envy the birds Soaring in the silence Soaring in the silence 'Cause when we speak without words Then no one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet It's safer when it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet Speak without words No one gets hurt Speak without words No one gets hurt It's safer where it's quiet It's safer where it's quiet
