Lyrics
Words
Words are hard
Words are harsh
Words stay buried inside
There's so little around
That could belong to my world
Wrong, am I wrong ?
Am I true ?
Am I queer, am I weird ?
I know well what it is
But just can't yell it out loud
What do you do with words
When there's no one to tell them to ?
What should I do with fire
When I can feel my skin
Burning into many shades of black ?
And what if I like the fire ?
Bad, is it bad ?
Is it foul ?
Is it just in my head ?
What is bad ?
What is wrong ?
Who decides what is right ?
Would my words be sins
If I just acted them out ?
How do I deal with words
When nobody likes to hear mine ?
Why should I put out the fire
When I can feel my skin
Burning into many shades of black ?
And what if I want the fire ?
My words are deemed vulgar
Before they even come out
So I keep quiet and wonder:
" What if I opened my mouth ?"
How do I say the words
If no one can agree with mine ?
Don't wanna stop the fire
From building and building,
Consuming and burning my insides
'Cause I know I like that fire.
