Tongue Tied

Broken down
Out of luck
Scared to not give a fuck
Nine to five
Feelin' stuck
(Gettin' older)

Waking up like I'm dead
Rather stay in my bed
On the clock
Late again
(Over and over)

Conversations complicate my day
People talk but ain't got much to say
On and on
Same old shit
Normal life
Sick of it
Burnin' out
Cavin' in
Safe for me to say I've been

Hidin' inside of my doubt
Silently I wanna shout
Afraid to say what's on my mind
I've been feelin'

Tongue tied
Can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry
From all the things I never said
When I should have
I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied

Up late
No sleep
Made a promise to my father that I can't keep
Told him if I wasn't makin' it by twenty three
I'd agree to get a job and finish university
But personally
Thought of quitting music didn't occur to me
I would rather take my fuckin' life
Than wake up thirty three with hurt in me
Knowin' that I gave it all up purposely
Just to please somebody for some money
I ain't servin' no machine
Self-esteem
Even if you're hated for sayin' what you believe
Even when you're lonely
Control the anxiety
I don't need medication just to make it
Rather pay the price
'stead of feelin'

Tongue tied
Can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry from all the things I never said
When I should have
I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied

I'm tongue tied
I'm tongue tied
(Tongue tied)

It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
Tongue tied
(Tongue tied)
Tired of pushing it down
I'm letting it out
Open my

Open my
Open my mouth
'Stead of feelin'

Tongue tied
Can't speak the words stuck in my head
Mouth dry
From all the things I never said
When I should have
I could have been
Someone with the courage to say what's inside
But I'm tongue tied

(Tongue tied)
I'm tongue tied
(Tongue tied)
Try to speak but I'm tongue tied

I'll find the courage to speak my mind
(I'm tongue tied)
It's time to shut up my doubt
Open my mouth
'Stead of feelin'

(Tongue tied)
I'll find the strength to speak my mind
'Stead of feeling
Tongue tied, tongue tied
