Tongue Tied

Broken down, out of luck, scared to not give a fuck

9 to 5, feelin' stuck

Gettin' older

Wakin' up like I'm dead, rather stay in my bed

On the clock, late again

Over and over

Conversations complicate my day

People talk but ain't got much to say

On and on, same old shit, normal life, sick of it

Burnin' out, cavin' in, safe for me to say I've been

Hidin' inside of my doubt

Silently, I wanna shout

Afraid to say what's on my mind, mind, mind

I've been feelin'

Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head

Mouth dry from all the things I never said

When I should have, I could have been

Someone with the courage to say what's inside

But I'm tongue tied

Up late, no sleep

Made a promise to my father that I can't keep

Told him if I wasn't makin' it by twenty-three

I'd agree to get a job and finish university

But personally, thought of quittin' music didn't occur to me

I would rather take my fuckin' life than wake up thirty-three with hurt in me

Knowin' that I gave it all up purposely

Just to please somebody for some money, I ain't servin' no machine

Self-esteem

Even if you're hated for sayin' what you believe

Even when you're lonely, control the anxiety

I don't need medication just to make it

Rather pay the price 'stead of feelin'

Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head

Mouth dry from all the things I never said

When I should have, I could have been

Someone with the courage to say what's inside

But I'm tongue tied

I'm tongue tied

I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)

It's time to shut up my doubt

Open my mouth

Tongue tied (Tongue tied)

I'm tired of pushin' it down

I'm lettin' it out

Open my

Open my

Open my mouth

'Stead of feelin'

Tongue tied, can't speak the words stuck in my head

Mouth dry from all the things I never said

When I should have, I could have been

Someone with the courage to say what's inside

But I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)

I'm tongue tied (Tongue tied)

Try to speak but I'm tongue tied

I'll find the courage to speak my mind

I'm tongue tied

It's time to shut up my doubt

Open my mouth

'Stead of feelin'

Tongue tied

I'll find the strength to speak my mind

'Stead of feelin'

Tongue tied

Tongue tied
