Tongue​-​Tied

from Drawn To Darkness by Hannah Scott

/

lyrics

With senses exploding

I hurry to meet you
To speak them, release them
To find connection in your eyes

But I’m tongue-tied

I’m tongue-tied
I’m tongue-tied

In shadows of empires
I’ve danced with wild abandon

To empty shells of houses
I’ve bared my soul with no disguise

Now I’m tongue-tied
I’m tongue-tied
I'm tongue-tied

Held captive by language
But how I’m lost without it
Held captive by language
And I am lost

Because we’re bound by the power of our tongues

And I am cursed by the words that won’t come
And tongue-tied

My silence exposes
A weakness unspoken
It limits expression
And leaves me lost

Because we’re bound by the power of our tongues

And I am cursed by the words that won’t come

And while we’re bound by the power of our tongues

Then we’ll be cursed by the words that won’t come
And tongue-tied
And tongue-tied

Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar, though you can’t quite put your finger on why. ... more
