Pass My Lips

All this steam escaping my skin.
into your throat, it never gets in.
Words that never pass my lips.
I had tem laid out in a script.
I want you to know, I want you to see.
Everything trapped inside of me. 
The things I cant say
drive me insane. 
They burn through my mind
but cant find an escape.
I know your not reading
You just hear me singing.
Im controlling my breathing.
but my heart is screaming.

Again, really well put. I especially love the last line "my heart is screaming." You really know how to make an impact at the very end.
