Shut Me Up

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something outside us is dying
All of the noise is absurd

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something inside us is crying
All we want is to be heard

Gonna shut my mouth and my eyes
Baby it’s time for us to rise
Ain’t nothing to fear, not even dark nights
We hear you now and all your cries

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something outside us is lying
It’s hard to believe in this world

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something inside us is trying
To wake up to what has been stirred

Gonna shut my mouth and my eyes
Baby it’s time for us to rise
Ain’t nothing to fear, not even dark skies
We hear you now and all your cries

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something outside us is buying
The division to which we’ve been spurred

I see you with my eyes shut
I hear you when there are no words
Something inside us is flying
The wings of our spirits conjured
