Just because you're comfortable doesn't mean you're safe
Although you keep quiet more people want to know your name
But all they want to do is know
they don't care to learn how it feels coming out of the curl of a lover's mouth
they don't care how it was turned against you when you were smaller
And how you made yourself smaller and smaller trying to disappear forever until you realized it only made people see you more and more

They want to know your sins
They want to know your signs
The number on the scale
The color of your *******
What your tongue feels like
Information without emotion
Emotion without care
Care without depth
Depth without water
But you're thirsty, so so thirsty

So you drink
Drink until you're comfortable
And you let out more words than you mean
And you *****.
