I'm sitting still but still cannot catch my breath
The blood in my veins is a silent stampede
I see your mouth move, but I don't hear a word you say
And I keep my mouth closed so you'll believe I believe

Here again, in the place where I thought it would end
Just silently feeding the elephant still in the room
My head's down, I'm hoping my heart makes no sound
And history repeats forevermore

I'm most at ease when I am invisible
Feel like their eyes see straight through my skin
But a smile is always good camouflage
If nothing is said then there's nothing to defend

But I'm here again, in the place where I hoped it would end
Still silently feeding the elephant trapped in the room
I keep my eyes down, hoping my chest makes no sound
And then history repeats itself forevermore
