lyrics

I am sarcasm bordering on boredom
And I think you've said all you have to say
'Cause if it isn't your opinion
It just gets in your way
Right in front of you, all of me
For you to see
What do you have to say
When the veil is taken away

My bedsheets are so tight
Don't dare to dream
Don't dream of begging
You know my silence is diamond
But I've run out of things not to say
The monster is lurking nearby somewhere
And you know I can swallow your glares
My wind, my words blow right through you
'Cause all you can taste is air

When I speak
Speak
Oh, speak
What parts of you are listening?
Speak, just speak
Can't coil it inside anymore

No, no, no
No, no, no

She left long ago
With her Pretty Pretty Princess clique in tow
And there is blood on the snow
From my lips

From my innocence
And the fear, the fear
He's here
'Cause he's got his hands and zippers
I've just got the truth and my whimpers
And I fought
For my mother
For my sister
While the trees watched me die

When I speak
Speak
Oh, speak
What parts of you are listening?
Speak, just speak
Can't coil it inside anymore

When I scream
Do you hear my undertones?
No, I said
I said
I said no
No, no, no

I know I can stomach your glares
Because all you taste is my air
