Mute

I have all these things I want to say
But yet I do not speak
I have all these thoughts inside my head
But yet my mouth still sticks

Why can't I say what's on my mind
Why can't I get it out
The more I think the less I say
The pressure's building up

I want to say just how I feel
my tongue keeps numbing out
The more I hear the less I speak
It's like I'm dumbing out

I know exactly what to say and how I want to say it
But when I open up my mouth the words just mumble out
