Muzzle
By William Corgan Jr.
I fear that I am 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 must 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 drawn into your heart,
and the world so hard to understand,
is the world you can't live without.
And I knew the silence of the world.
