lyrics

Say what’s on your mind, while I say nothing at all. I don’t feel very friendly. I tread lightly through your halls. I passed up your anger. Morality flawed. And now I feel like a stranger. I don’t feel any love at all. Would you listen? Because I’ve been trying to speak with reason. And I’ve been trying to show you truth. But is that really what you want at all? And while I’m trying to be better, are you holding up your end? Because I don’t think you are. Feel the light. Oh how can you say it’s wrong? I have always shown you that you belong. Selfless in tongue but you take what you want. The rocks that you’ve thrown, avoiding your own. Fearful suppression flourished my aggression. I’m not going to hold. I wont anymore. I’m scared of being alone, but I don’t buy this unconditional tone. Can’t defy you. A cycle of fear and control. You can say anything, but would you listen to me at all?
