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
