Tame the tongue, but it’s difficult to tame what is sung Why’s it so hard to tame the tongue of the things I don’t want? ‘Cause it’s sung by a liger, half the liar, half the pride I’ve tried to raise him right, but something’s on the other side Tugging at his leash, and I begin to lose my peace You probably don’t even know what that is! Only if you’re a nerd, that’s right Is it fantasy or is it reality? Either way, it’s half of me So how can I tame it, if I don’t even know what its name is? See, Liger is just something to take pride in, to hide in, to get high by I’m trying to put down the gun, but there’s something he wants It’s like my mind is speaking in tongues Of things incapable of being sung What do you want? What do you want?!
