Words

Give a taste of what's to come

give me a medicine

teach me a lesson maybe I deserve to know

Cut me down to size and paralyze me

with the contents of your pretty little head

Give somewhere else to go

give me one thing

tell me something I don't really need to know

I am so afraid of breaking what we made;

it is delicate and lovely

but it's a weight above me

And your words are like weapons

but you'll keep them inside

they cut like a knife

And you keep it together

those feelings inside

there's nowhere to hide but away from me

and I just wanna listen to your words

I'd like to step into your world

Show me a secret

I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm

I would cross the great divide that keeps me swimming

treading water from your shore

Now I wanna coax you from your hell

into an alley the hidden valley

where the truth can surely spill

I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground

spare this treasure that I found

But your words are like weapons

you'll keep them inside

they cut like a knife

And you keep it together

those feelings inside

there's nowhere to hide but away from me

And I just wanna listen

There's a lock someone's stolen the key

They took it away from me

somewhere that no one can read ya

I see a bible

I see a bible in your eyes

All those codes and hidden meanings

full of metaphor

and something for the faithless in me

But your words are like weapons

but you'll keep them inside

they cut like a knife

And you keep it together

those feelings inside

there's nowhere to hide

And your words are like weapons

but you'll keep them inside

they cut like a knife

And you keep it together

those feelings inside

there's nowhere to hide but away from me

and I just wanna listen to your words
