I am all circuits and wires
Conducting symphonies
Of heat exchange and energies

Fueled by a nervous system
Thrust through the great unknown
A timid mess of frightened bones

I pledge to make no difference
I aim to take no stand
This bitter silence is the only play I have

In light of all their laughter
I'll take to keeping shut
A resolution that I've finally had enough

Can't speak, can't speak, can't speak at all
Don't even think you know the reason

[Hook]
I know there's something wrong within my faulty brain
I lack the proper behavior
My temper addled tongue can't seem to force it out
The words that linger inside me

Can't speak, can't speak, can't speak at all
Don't even think you know the reason
Can't speak, can't speak, can't speak at all
Don't even try to understand
I am all motors and gadgets organically designed
To last a finite length of time
Locked in this rotary motion
The wheel spins round and round
I comprehend it all but still can't make a sound

[Hook]

I am all circuits and wires
Conducting symphonies
Of heat exchange and energies
My temper addled tongue can't seem to force it out
The words that linger inside me
