With A Mouth Sewn Shut (You're Pretty Well Spoken)

(album: Exhaustion, Salt Water, And Everything In Between - 2003)

Speak silent you don't have to say a word
Because I already know what you want to say
Just as in greek violence you don't have to say a word
The coliseum was given a good show today

A picture's worth thousands of words
Just as the one you paint
The canvas is lacking the verbs
You hold your breathe and I faint
A picture's worth thousands of words
Photography which you hate
An allowance to alleviate the verbs
Your silence determines my fate

Mute guidance I map out your every word
I'll follow you blindly till the end of days
Meek violin please learn to play my song
The worlds smallest instrument played for me today

For someone with a mouth sewn shut you are pretty well spoken
