Omar Rodríguez-López - Speechless lyrics

[Verse 1] Mother nature never smelled so good Can I taste the flower that you [carry?] Brilliant minds with pretty faces never cry Pedestal's crumbling down, now you're on the ground Selfless days are way too many Lay back, spread your legs, and don't make a sound [Chorus] (x2) Cause no one's listening [Verse 2] Hiding bruises, he brings you roses Says, "I'm sorry," now it's okay No hard feelings, no deep meanings You were once special, but just for a day Hook and baits you, breaks you in two Now no one is saying you'll be all right Promises when he says, "I love you" Face first to the floor, now you just don't know [Chorus 2] Speak up now, yeah, speak up now Speak up cause no one's listening (x3) Speak up now, yeah (x2) Speak up cause no one's listening (x3) [Bridge: Cedric Bixler (feat. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez)] All those lonely nights you stayed up and cried Sick to your stomach with bu*terflies He says, "Come and hold me close You never really seem to smile when I touch you" (Saccharine sweet flavored drinks taste so old This burning in your mind makes you feel so cold [?] Leave it all behind, but just can't let go) (x4) [Verse 3] No recollection of affection We're only safe from harm when nothing Matters, only twenty years have pa**ed And you're already feeling old Bell jar is ringing, no one understands the feeling of Kicking a dead cow and hoping it will come alive When everything is wrong, you just say "I'm doing fine" [Outro] (x5) She's reaching for something right
