I wash my mouth with soap every day
walk on eggshells, pretend to play (your game)
Is your mind in the right place, right space, right time?
When you open your mouth, does your heart rhyme?
I wanna scream all the things I have to say
Whatever it takes to make you listen before this goes away
Don’t wanna pretend that I like you anymore
It hurts me to my core
when I think of all the time I’ve lost
Words unlock the door,
release the truth
won’t lie
I’m not radio friendly,
tune in to your favorite show
the host is gone and the station’s closed
but I am here to tell you what I know
I tried so hard to keep it cool
but this rage is filling up my lungs, it’s gathering in pools
Is your heart in the right place, right space, right mind?
When you open your eyes, what will you find?
All your people are standing on the shore,
their hearts are shut, they won’t answer anymore.
And I am here to tell you all how I almost lost myself
to a bucket full of stories of somebody else’s scars
Words unlock the door,
release the truth
won’t lie
I’m not radio friendly,
tune in to your favorite show
the host is gone and the station’s closed
but I am here to tell you what I know
Words unlock every bolted door,
echo back where you stood before,
be gentle cause they never fade away
I’m not radio friendly,
tune in to your favorite show
the host is gone and the station’s closed
but I am here to tell you what I know
