Gimme 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
Gimme 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 keep them inside, they cut like a knife
And you keep it together, all 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 wanna cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
And 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 have found
But your words are like weapons
But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
Well, I just wanna listen
There's a lock, someone's stolen the key
They took you away from me
Somewhere that no one can read you
I see a bible, yeah, I've seen 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 keep them inside, they cut like a knife
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
And your words are like weapons
But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
When I just wanna listen to your words
