You Forgot to Speak

between first sleep and second sleep

i stare into the dark

and i can feel there are two of me

so i put um both on the ark

and we’ll find out what we’re made of

when we’re tossing at sea

and no one knows what their fate is

and there are no guarantees

 

you know the flood is coming

so you watch the sky for weeks

and you see a bird pass overhead

with something in its beak

and nobody will listen

but then, you forgot to speak

 

how the hell can anyone listen when you forget to speak?

(it will never be)

you forgot to speak

(it will never be)

you forgot to speak

(it will never be)

hey!

(fair)

 

between first sleep and second sleep

when we’re tossing at sea

and no one knows what their fate is

and there are no guarantees

 

a big picture is just clutter

with no space to hang it in

and there’s only so much justice

in a world of broken men

you gotta wonder, why begin?

let alone, begin again

 

and tell me,

how the hell can anybody listen when you forget to speak?

(it will never be)

you forgot to speak

(it will never be)

you forgot to speak

(it will never be)

hey!
