lyrics

I heard from some celebrity
Talking about therapy
How it don’t come easily
Holding back her honesty

I know I wear it on my face
Feelings I cannot erase
Thoughts without a hiding place
Your lips they know the bitter taste

And now I can see
Why some people, they choose not to speak

Remember in the darker days
My mind would try to suffocate,
Bare its teeth, and scare away,
Putting nothing on display

I know I wore that muscle out
Biting tongue and closing mouth
And now the language won’t allow
Keeping it all in the house

And so you can see
Why your reticence is so hard for me

The windows of the world look down
On what we shouldn’t speak about
Ties they say can’t be unwound
How the past relates to now

Still the filter’s coming off
My words will have to pay the cost
This open door will stay unlocked
Fighting all that I was taught

And then they will see
Why my breath runs away with me

All that I can do to keep
From overstating everything
Is hope that you’re not following
Listening when I sing

For every liberty I take
I promise you my mind will pay
A piece of my own heart will break
With every smile I can’t fake
