Spineless

I've got a million things to say to you
But you won't hear a single one
All these thoughts stay locked between my teeth
On my traitor of a tongue
But maybe someday one might slip
Out from in-between my lips
Then the flood gates open
And it all goes to shit

You stand up, I back down
You hold ground, while I drown
I've conditioned myself not to speak my mind
A fortress 'round my brain
Holds thoughts someone more sane
Would have said so many years ago

I'm spineless (spineless)
It's not worth the risk
I'm spineless (spineless)
It's your fault that I'm like this
I swear this time I won't back down
Then later I'm back on the ground
I'm spineless (spineless)
You're a hypocrite, but you won't hear a word of this

Time to settle this score
I cannot lose this war
But battle after battle I retreat
But each dog has their day
Soon you'll hear what I say
I'll pick the perfect words to break your teeth

I'm spineless (spineless)
It's not worth the risk
I'm spineless (spineless)
It's your fault that I'm like this
I swear this time I won't back down
Then later I'm back on the ground
I'm spineless (spineless)
You're a hypocrite but you won't hear a word of this

I swear this time I won't back down
Then later I'm back on the ground
I'm spineless (spineless)
You're a piece of shit but you won't hear a word of this
You're a hypocrite but you won't hear a word of this
