Lyrics
Mouth Mantra
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My throat was stuffed
My mouth was sewn up
Banned from making noise
I was not heard
Remove this hindrance
My throat feels stuck
I was not allowed
I was not heard
There is vocal sadness
I was separated
From what I can do
What I'm capable of
Need to break up
Vicious habits
Do something
I haven't done before
In vow of silence
Explore the negative space
Around my mouth
It implodes, black hole
With jaw fallen in
In fallen jaw, jaw fallen in
I am not hurt, I am not hurt
This tunnel has enabled
Thousands of sounds
I thank this trunk
Noise pipe
I have followed a path
That took sacrifices
Now I sacrifice this scar
Can you cut it off?
