Lyrics

[Intro]
A song for the deaf that is for you
[Instrumental]
Nobody's coming down the hall
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection, out of luck
Nobody ever needed it
[Chorus]
I got what was
I want to take what's left
I'm ready now
[Instrumental]
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singin'
[Instrumental]
Sweet, soft and low
I will poison you all
Come closer, racin' to your tongue
[Chorus]
I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
[Instrumental]
The blind can go get fucked
Lie beside the ditch
This halo 'round my neck
Has torn out every stitch
[Instrumental]
Who are you hiding? Is it safe for the deaf?
Beautiful cancer, infiltrate then forget
Yeah, I saw you coming and I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been
[Chorus]
And I got what was
I want to take what's left
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
For the deaf
Written by: Joshua Homme, Mark Lanegan, Nick Oliveri
