Bottle it up.
Keep it in.
Don't let it out.

I can't let them see, what is raging in my eye.
They don't dare to ask, why it is I'm so shy.
I can't let them see me cry.
I have to stay strong.
I hate that my pain is lasting this long.

Bottle it up.
Keep it in.
Don't let it out.

I can't let them see my anxiety.
I can't let them see the pain that's gripping me.

Bottle it up.
Keep it in.
Don't let it out.

I can't take it anymore.
I begin to shout the gore.
I begin to speak with disrespect.
Not meaning truly what I say.
Just not wanting them to see, the pain that is truly gripping me.

Take off the lid.
Kick it out.
Let it go in.

Finally, I finish.
I can go back to handling the pain.
The pain that keeps me chained.

Bottle it back in.
Keep it all in.
Don't let it all out.
