Bite Your Tongue

Such an annoying conversation

I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying

To be some picture of compassion

And anyway it sounds like I'm lying

And yes I've heard the world has conspired

To steal away your god-given right

To a happy home and comfortable children

Next you'll sue them for abandoning you!

So bite your tongue

You're not the only one

Who's been let down

Bite your tongue

Maybe it's good for you

To hit the ground

Oh, Christ it's gonna sound like I'm agreeing

With the most ultra-boring ideas

Of pop psychological western gurus

Who haven't gotten lucky in years

And so you see I have no intention

Of giving you the easy way out

Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section

Of my local bookstore!

So bite your tongue

You're not the only one

Who's been let down

Bite your tongue

Maybe it's good for you

To hit the ground

Blame the shapes and blame the angles

Blame it on your own dark planes

If you blame on something other,

The victim's song remains,

Remains

So bite your tongue

You're not the only one

Who's been let down

Bite your tongue

Maybe it's good for you

To hit the ground
