Shadowboxing Lyrics by Mute Choir

Silent Conversations

2020

I woke up tired and feeling old
Stared at the time, sank into my mould
I don’t know why I’m pacing
Worn feet grow tired of chasing

(Ooh, Ooh) 
Believed every word you’d say
(Ooh, Ooh) 
Oil soaked, we danced with flames
(Ooh, Ooh) 
The renegades all left the rave
and I guess I did the same
Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na

My pride has grown, and my hair cut short
Ikea Homes, locks on every door
I’ve said so much, but can’t find the meaning
Forever pushed on this crutch that keeps me from kneeling

Everything I’d ever wanted, yeah I got it
Until my feet touched the ground
Now just a broken man, singing ‘bout his broken back
To brick walls who don’t hear the sound
Waited in line, waited in line
As if by waiting, I could jump to the front
Never arrived, Never arrived
The door closed shut, yeah the door closed shut

(Ooh, Ooh)
 Believed every word you’d say
(Ooh, Ooh) 
Oil soaked, we danced with flames
(Ooh, Ooh)
 The renegades all left the rave
and I guess I did the same
Na Na Na Na 
Na Na Na Na
I reach for escape
