Lyrics for Mouth Mantra

My throat was stunned My mouth was sewn up Banned from making noise I was not heard Remove this hindrance My throat feels stuck I was not allowed I was not heard I was not heard I was not heard I was not heard There is vocal sadness I was separated From what I can do What I'm capable of Need to break up Vicious habits Do something I haven't done I haven't done before In vow of silence I explore the negative space Around my mouth It implodes Black hole With jaw fallen in In fallen jaw Jaw fallen in I am not hurt I am not hurt This tunnel has enabled Thousands of sounds I thank this trunk Noise pipe, noise pipe I have followed a path That took sacrifices Now I sacrifice this scar Can you cut it off?
