Muzzle

(Smashing Pumpkins)

I fear that I'm ordinary, just like everyone
to lie here and die among the sorrows
adrift among the days
for everything I ever said
and everything I've ever done is gone and dead

...as all things must surely have to end!
...and great loves will one day have to part!

I know that I am meant for this world

my life has been extraordinary
blessed and cursed and won!

time heals but I'm forever broken
by and by the way...
have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
it's for the girl I've loved all along
can a taste of love be so wrong...!?

as all things must surely have to end...
and great loves will one day have to part...
I know that I am meant for this world

and in my mind as I was floating
far above the clouds
some children laughed, I'd fall for certain
for thinking that I'd last
.. forever ..

but I knew -exactly- where -I was-
and I knew the meaning of it all
and I knew the distance to the sun
and I knew the *echo* that is love
and I knew the secrets in your spires
and I knew the emptiness of youth
and I knew the solitude of heart
and I knew the murmurs of the soul..........

and the world is drawn into your hands!
and the world is etched upon your heart!
and the world so hard to understand
is the world your can't live without!

and I knew the silence of the world.
