Shhh!
I'm fairly good with words
I know the danger and the thrill
The downfall and the hurt
I'm emotionally mute by now
And you won't really know me 'til I break
I seal my secrets away at the back of my mind
I'm tongue tied and terrified
Truth turns into lies in my mouth
As my efforts to speak digs skin deep
The hurricane rolls off of my tongue
In a carefully designed messy way
Over labled, undefined
I keep my secrets right behind my teeth
Until there no longer is a you and me
A safe bet, a misguided useless life
That can't be justified in the light
I take a shallow breath and choke on a supressed scream
Full of frustation, unable to just be me
Worthless, spineless and insecure
I'm a coward shouting out somene elses meaningless words
I keep my secrets in my observing eyes
They're soundlessly speaking, always trained on the ground
I've become a closed book by now
And most days Im completely unwritten
I'm begging for you to tell me my story, you story, or any story at all
Fill these blank pages, give me back some needed purpose
Cause I've been waiting desperatly for a heartbeat, a form of expression
A tale to tell to the willing and the voiceless
To the ones lost in a sufforcating silence
But there's a sudden loss of comunication
As I find myself floating somewhere out in space
Weightlessly drifting,
Halfway remembering the days of gravity
It was all one foot infront of the other
And it quickly became a dommed lonely road
They told me it was for anyone but me to follow
That the torn pages and the smudged ink
The cheap leather and the underlined failures
The worn paperbacks and the coffee stains
Would never be good enough for me
And though I begged to differ it was your word over mine
That's how you always held me down
But now I disagree in a daring whisper
Cause you could never quite write the prequel
And we both now you never planned to stick around for the sequel
You could preach and you could scream
But you could never truly speak for me
I know the danger and the thrill
The downfall and the hurt
I'm emotionally mute by now
And you won't really know me 'til I break
I seal my secrets away at the back of my mind
I'm tongue tied and terrified
Truth turns into lies in my mouth
As my efforts to speak digs skin deep
The hurricane rolls off of my tongue
In a carefully designed messy way
Over labled, undefined
I keep my secrets right behind my teeth
Until there no longer is a you and me
