You keep me second to my tongue
And cut my tether from your pride
But not completely
You won't spare a second of your time
But for you, I'm as aligned as I can be
Watch you stir the mud, leave a mess behind
Yeah, you made it mine well before I bore my teeth
Bite no hand that feeds you
Saw it coming two times over
Oh, no, you don't
Put down your weapon and shoot
You criticize how I crossed the line
When I'm under your pressure to move
'Cause for you, I'm never moving the right way
Chest deep in your tirade
You care so much that you've turned your flag upside down
Don't let me know what everybody knows
I don't wanna be free
Keep my body from me, but don't let go
'Cause everyone who goes there never leaves
Don't hide, you better speak
'Cause I been warned too many times
Can't hold the other line, that's not like me
Not like me, nah
If you can't keep an open mind
The dove ain't gonna fly to find you peace, oh
You would rather swallow all that dust
Than let me watch you cough it up so you can breathe, mm
You're too busy staring at the Sun
Asking why you're always blinded by the heat
Oh, dear Lord, why'd you tie me to this creature?
I don't know why either
So dress me to the nines like I'm a parasite
You can spare your eyes, I'll be on about my night
Don't let me know what everybody knows
I don't wanna be free
Keep my body from me, but don't let go
'Cause everyone who goes there never leaves
Don't hide, you better speak
'Cause I been warned too many times
Can't hold the other line, that's not like me
Not like me, nah
If you can't keep an open mind
The dove ain't gonna fly to find you peace, oh, oh, uh
