[Intro]
A song for the deaf, that is for you
[Verse 1]
Nobody's coming down the hall
Nobody echoes in my head
Broken reflection out of luck
Nobody ever needed it
[Chorus 1]
I got what was
I want to take what's left
(Ready now)
[Verse 2]
Beautiful senses are gone
Canary in a gilded cage
Singing
Sweet, soft, and low
I will poison you all
Come closer, racing to your tongue
[Chorus 1]
I got what was
I want to take what's left
(Ready now)
[Chorus 2]
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
(For the deaf)
[Bridge: Mark Lanegan]
The blind can go get f**ed
Lie beside the ditch
This halo round my neck
Has torn out every stitch
[Verse 3]
Who are you hiding
Is it safe for the deaf
Beautiful cancer
Infiltrate and forget
When I saw you coming
And I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you'd been
[Chorus 1]
I got what was
I want to take what's left
(Ready now)
[Chorus 2]
No talk will cure
What's lost, or save what's left
(For the deaf)
