Lyrics The Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins

Muzzle

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 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 you can't live without

And I knew the silence of the world

And I knew the silence of the world

And I knew the silence of the world

And I knew the silence of the world

And I knew the silence of the world
