Poor head
Can hardly move my lips for speaking
I said

So, what is this thing I cannot explain?
I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place
Perhaps they're written on my face

Someone took the words away

Why don't you speak up and say what you mean?

Summon my powers of conversation
I talk to myself,
I'm fine

When you're around,
Then I decline the invitation


It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied
A change has come over me
I'm powerless to express

Every thing I know but cannot speak
And if I try my voice will break
Someone took the words away

Someone took the words away
