Lyrics
Bite, bite your tongue
It’s a thief from your head
It's a thief from your head
Oh, and clench, clench your fists
They’ll just steal from your mind
They'll just steal from your mind
And I’m reaching
Even though it’s tearing me apart at the seams
Oh, so bite, bite your tongue
It’s a thief from your head
It's a thief from your head
Oh, and stay, stay your lips
They’ll just bleed out your heart
They'll just bleed out your heart
I swear I’m believing
Trying to taste past the lemon-tinted leaves
Oh, so bite, bite your tongue
It’s a thief from your head
It's a thief from your head
Oh, and stow, stow your heart
It’ll betray your soul
So much more than you know
Goddamn it I’m trying
But you cast a shadow that mirrors my memory
I’m not a leper, I’m not a sinner
I’m just scared of the unknown
I’m just a child wearing my mama’s lipstick
Too damn good at looking old
I’m not a leper, I’m not a sinner
I’m just scared of the unknown
I’m just a child wearing my mama’s lipstick
Too damn good at looking old
I’m not a leper, I’m not a sinner
I’m just scared of being alone
I’m just a child wearing my mama’s lipstick
Too damn good at looking old
