Once


Once upon a time I stopped talking, I actually also stopped walking I would stutter, ‘cause my mouth would feel wrong I would stumble, ‘cause my legs would feel numb My mouth would feel wrong, because I had nothing good to say My legs would feel numb, because I didn’t feel like moving from my grave
