Tongue Tied

Her tongues tied But her hair's down She smiles, the only time she smiles is when there's people around And she cries, Yeah the only time she'll cry is when she knows there's no sign of life at this time of night In such a small little town So put on your face As best as you can Run from your fears run from this place As fast as you can And these tattoo's Are a part of me A failed attempt To hide what’s underneath I break open these scars To start over new One more cut I bleed over you And we fall And break into a million pieces I’m chasing after you Constantly questioning myself when I’m around you, over analyzing everything I do And I don't need this Yet I stick around to see how many times I can screw everything up It's like a marry go round With it's ups and down Following each other Going in one big circle with one another Just to get.....back.....to where we started What if the start was the end? Crawling up underneath my skin Breaking off As I dig my fingernails in
