I'm drowning again, In things I haven't said. My teeth like bars And my mouth like a prison, Everything I feel Is kept within. All my sadness, And all my fears, All my paranoia, And unconditional love, All held captive in my Penitentiary mouth. And it seems so stupid To keep it all Locked away, But I feel even dumber When I let my thoughts Slip through the cracks in my teeth. But I'm only human And I need to know That the way I feel Is justified because I feel it. I'm only human, And teeth don't make Effective dams. Tidal waves Of feeling I've swallowed Come pouring out my eyes When I'm alone at night. And you want me to show you? You want to see What it looks like To feel like me? I'm only a girl With a fragile heart So hold it gently. Hold me closely And make me believe That it really is okay To be like me.

When the levee breaks
I'm drowning again, In things I haven't said. My teeth like bars And my mouth like a prison, Everything I feel Is kept within. All my sadness, And all my fears, All my paranoia, And unconditional love, All held captive in my Penitentiary mouth. And it seems so stupid To keep it all Locked away, But I feel even dumber When I let my thoughts Slip through the cracks in my teeth. But I'm only human And I need to know That the way I feel Is justified because I feel it. I'm only human, And teeth don't make Effective dams. Tidal waves Of feeling I've swallowed Come pouring out my eyes When I'm alone at night. And you want me to show you? You want to see What it looks like To feel like me? I'm only a girl With a fragile heart So hold it gently. Hold me closely And make me believe That it really is okay To be like me.
