What, what do you want me to say? What would you have me do? Must I, must I... Must I rip out my own tongue? Must I deafen these ears, stop an uncomfortable Conversation before it ever begins? Must I tear out my eyes to stop myself From watching your constant self-mutilation? Excuses Lies Excuses I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole Must I bite my lip? A river of blood To choke back the criticism You will surely hear You can't stop I won't stop Excuses and lies I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole I swallowed them whole Oh, godless day with no sun To see that I've gone And the night will not miss The breath from my lungs It just moves on
