Every word I try to hide is slipping out my throat
And every dream that wasn't mine, I shrouded them in hope
I tried to stop the scarring, but it's not that alarming to me, your faded memory
Of all the times I tried and failed to relate to what was hailed as the king
When every word I say could make or break my day
I just need to shut my mouth and keep living out the lie
Nothing good can come from sounding dull and dumb
I just need to shut my mouth and bide my time
When every streetlight fades to blue, you feel it coat your lungs
And when the sun breaks through the clouds you feel it come undone
I slip into the violence of self-esteem and silence, I keep trying to hit the beat
But my sentences are vacant, lies running adjacent, spiraling
When every word I say could make or break my day
I just need to shut my mouth and keep living out the lie
Nothing good can come from sounding dull and dumb
I just need to shut my mouth and bide my time
You had to hide away, but you chose to run
Save me from my suffering
I know that I'm a lot, might not be worth it, can you please?
Save me from my suffering
I know that I'm a lot, might not be worth it, I'm not worth it
