Muted Smile - Mark Diamond

Here on the ground

You only see the sky

Pulled against the tide

Your bones never settled right

And you fell when the wrong eclipsed the right

You and your muted smile

As if you weren’t who they say you are

Leave your winter hide

Sun dance flare burns in your heart

Your stubborn soul

Keeps the moon from night

Beneath the sun

You sleep to hush the light

And dreams of

Stars would whisper truth

But you’d stay deaf to tend a bruise

You and your muted smile

As if you weren’t who they say you are

Leave your winter hide

Sun dance flare burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart

I wish we were

Laying on the moon

I’d give you the world

Like I always said I’d do

From up here the ocean seems to small

If you jumped we could spend a lifetime in the fall

You and your muted smile

As if you weren’t who they say you are

Leave your winter hide

Sun dance flare burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart

You float to the blackout

It’s only you now

And the air in your chest

And for the first time

You hear your heart beat

You find the fuse you need

To light the darkest paradise

You and your muted smile

As if you weren’t who they say you are

Leave your winter hide

Sun dance flare burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart

Sun, sun burns in your heart
