Lyrics
[verse]
He sat alone at the back of the room
Drawing pictures out of gloom
Nobody asked him how his day had been
Nobody looked at what was seen
[chorus]
Nathan tried to speak but the words wouldn't come
Nathan tried to speak, silenced by the sum
Of every day he was pushed aside
Now the whole room knows he cried
[verse]
His folders full of angry lines
Warnings that they read as signs
But warnings only go so far
When no one wonders where you are
[chorus]
Nathan tried to speak but the words wouldn't come
Nathan tried to speak, silenced by the sum
Of every day he was pushed aside
Now the whole room knows he cried
[bridge]
Somebody should have stopped to ask
Somebody should have seen the mask
Now it's quiet, now it's still
The silence louder than the drill
[chorus]
Nathan tried to speak but the words wouldn't come
Nathan tried to speak, silenced by the sum
Of every day he was pushed aside
Now the whole room knows he cried
