My lips are sewn shut
By the people I love
My thoughts are trapped
With no way out

I haven't been taught how to cope
So I joke about everything I know
Then at night or in the shower
I cry my thoughts out until I'm numb

I haven't been taught how to cope
So I force my thoughts away
Until my feelings are gone, too
And I wait until I'm able to force myself to be happy

I haven't grown up able to talk
For judgment would await
And I can't seem to find the light
They said would be at the end

I'm starting to think there is no end
