MUPH + PLUTONIC - Voice Box lyrics

rate me

What you gonna do when you lose your voice?

Not a word gets heard and you can't make a noise

Scream at the top of your lungs

When what you've got becomes numb and undone

Now it's - a loose spit, and you lose spit

Trying to figure out how to do this

I was fifteen, caught in a slipstream

At that point finally focused on my big dream

But it seemed like it might be a little too late

Felt a cold rush, chill in the guts, blue in the face

Too cold to scream, had to leave it with fate

Whole lot on my mind but not a word to say

Would you hold these scenes? Replay 'em to my mates

It was the summer of '94, everything in shape

Had the sunscreen on to avoid the burning rays

These were the days to further make me a man

About 300 metres from where we'd set up camp

You could hear the flow of the river, as it ran

A holiday retreat with me and my fam

The way life is - didn't go according to plan

Had been swimming on my own, legs started to cramp

I began to feel heavy, barely keeping my head - above order

Panic set in as I tried to tread water

As all the water started to fill up my lungs

I was sure that it was all done

I'd lost my voice, body becoming numb

Stunned at the possible outcome, couldn't even call for help

And I recall at that moment, asking myself...

Then the panic slowly died down

At ease with turning the lights out

Heaven or hell? Guessing I was gonna find out

Tensed up muscles began to wind down

Devil probably thinking, "Huh, you're all mine now"

Drifting downstream, rapids almost wiped out

Tied down by the impressive flow of H2O

Undertow had a firm grip on my ankles

Pulling me down, liquid wrapped, tightly strangled

Gasp for that last breath, let it go, accept it

When all you can do is welcome that death sentence

Defenceless against this power of nature

The same thing that makes ya can break ya down to a fraction

And that's the last thing I remember that happened

Everything went black and then I passed out... huh

When I woke, no pearly gates, just a smiling face

Revived to take the reminder of a violent shake

She risked her life to save that of a stranger

Feet first into the danger and gave her favour

Huh, which I could never repay

She played the saviour, and then she walked away

And I didn't even get a chance to say...

You see, that day - still sends shivers

That day - still drowns this liver of mine

Still a little afraid to close these eyes

And I can't help but visualise that river

That picture that infiltrates my nights

That minute I almost lost my life

That distance I could never gain despite, how hard I've tried

Pulled the plug, but must of put up a hell of a fight

Revived, I was given back my breath

Which I still use to inhale these cigarettes

Abusive but we do this in effect

Connect chain reaction, addictive in many ways

We crave our passions, defined by our outlets

No matter what happens, can't dampen that call of the wild

Unless there's a wet blanket amongst all the smiles

While we speak free, take it for granted each week

Weakness lurks, before long we're knee deep in these seas

No idea who the fuck we be, just them, they, us, you, me

And when they take our voice we lose that sleep
