Description
Words get stuck somewhere between the throat and the heart, turning into a lump of impending silence. Everything seems clear - the pain, the fatigue, the burnt-out feelings - but it's impossible to say it out loud. Only ragged breathing, trembling inside, and a war between the mind and the heart. The music sounds like a confession that never made it past the lips, and in this silence there is far more truth than in the longest speeches.

Lyrics and translation
Original
No, I am not the man that I was, not, no more
And I can't understand why I'm doin' this anymore
Wanna leave, but I freeze when my feet reach the door
Couldn't be what I need, and I know because
I'm tongue-tied, my words have run dry
And I don't know why I don't have anythin' else to say
I'm tongue-tied, alone in my mind
Even if I tried, I doubt you'd even care anyway
And there's a hole in my chest and a burn in my lungs
Breathe it in, breathe it out, last time, swear I'm done
There's a war 'cause my heart's up against my own head
Wish I knew what for, but I don't instead
I'm tongue-tied, my words have run dry
And I don't know why I don't have anythin' else to say
I'm tongue-tied, alone in my mind
Even if I tried, I doubt you'd even care anyway
The voices in my head gettin' loud
Got no way of gettin' it out because
I'm tongue-tied, my words have run dry
And I don't know why I don't have anythin' else to say
I'm tongue-tied, alone in my mind
Even if I tried, I doubt you'd even care anyway
