Tongue tied
It's killing me
I'm trapped in words
Held hostage by my friends
Tripped up by meaning
Taking a road just to get to it's end
Tongue tied
It's killing me
I wanna see things for the first time
Show you things that are brighter
Darker, sharper, softer
But I'm struck dumb and dead
Thoughts like paper over fire
There's a hole in my world
That makes me talk like a liar
Over there I see a fist fight
A woman in a car full of toys
Smokes a cigarette
Conversations twist and turn
I get the feeling I am learning
More than ever before
This is the first time
Tongue tied
It's killing me
Tongue tied
It's killing me
Tongue tied
It's killing me, me
