Gimme a taste of what's to come.
Give me a medicine.
Teach me a lesson, maybe I deserve to know.
Cut me down to size and paralyze me
With the contents of your pretty little head.
Gimme somewhere else to go.
Give me one thing.
Tell me something I don't really need to know.
I am so afraid of breaking what we made.
It is delicate and lovely
But it's a weight above me.
And your words are like weapons,
But you'll keep them inside.
They cut like a knife.
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide but away from me,
And I just wanna listen to your words.
I'd like to step into your world,
Show me a secret.
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm.
I would cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
Treading water from your shore.
Now I wanna coax you from your hell
Into an alley, the hidden valley
Where the truth can surely spill.
I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground,
Spare this treasure that I found.
But your words are like weapons,
But you'll keep them inside.
They cut like a knife.
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide but away from me,
And I just wanna listen…
There's a lock, someone's stolen the key.
They took it away from me
Somewhere that no one can read.
I see a bible,
I see a bible in your eyes,
All those codes and hidden meanings
Full of metaphor
and something for the faithless in me.
But your words are like weapons,
But you'll keep them inside.
They cut like a knife.
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide.
And your words are like weapons,
But you'll keep them inside.
They cut like a knife.
And you keep it together
Those feelings inside.
There's nowhere to hide but away from me,
And I just wanna listen to your words.
