Words

Give me 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 me 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
All those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me
And I just want to 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

I want to coax you from your hell
Into an alley, the hidden valley
Where the truth can surely spill
I want to take the weight that
Drags you to the ground
Spare this treasure that I found

But your words are like weapons
But you'll 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...

There's a lock, someone's stolen the key
They took it away from me
Somewhere that no one can read you
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
All 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
All those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide
But away from me
And I just wanna listen to your words
