Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
Oh
Oh
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Hand over my heart
I swear I've tried everything I could within all my power
Two weeks and one hour I slaved
And now I've got nothing to show
Oh, if only you'd grow taller than a brick wall
From now on I'm going to start holding my breath
When you come around and flex that fake grin
'Cause something inside me has said more than twice
That breathing less air beats breathing you in, oh
[Verse 3]
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
[Verse 4]
Hand over my mouth
I'm earning the right to my silence
In quiet, discerning between ego and timing
Good judgement is once again proving to me
That it's still worth its weight in gold
From now on I'm gonna be so much more wary
When you start to speak and my warm blood starts to boil
Seeing you is like puling teeth
And hearing your voice is like chewing tin foil
Oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
Oh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 6]
High fives to
A better judgement
By saying less today
I will gain more
Gain more
Low twos to you, my
My fickle friend, yeah
You've, you've, you've, you've
You've brought the art of
Silent war
[Verse 7]
I don't want to talk to you anymore
I'm afraid of what I might say
I bite my tongue every time you come around
'Cause blood in my mouth beats
Blood on the ground
Oh
Oh, yeah
