Just as soon as I beguine to move my lips I go and get mixed up stuck stuttering with my tongue tied Tripping all over my tone afraid to loose my speech Praying to something I don't know to make my reach I crawl my way across the ground Oh how I've beaten myself up all over again Bite your tongue boy is all I was ever told Never a saying could get more old Always being told to watch what you say Being reminded of it every single day We all have a freedom of speech But freedom really isn't free Every action faces consequence You cant ever pull without a little push on the other side These words that we speak will determine the rise or the fall These words that we speak will determine the population of us all Face your fate to overcome your greatest fear Never loose yourself through the bitterness within a year Finally I think I have conjured the strength to stay I have found the proper way to make it on my own I have found the way to unleash the power with in these words I'll broadcast my message to the world Just to make sure it makes it back to the start Bite your tongue boy is all I was ever told Never a saying could get more old Always being told to watch what you say Being reminded of it every single day We all have a freedom of speech But freedom really isn't free We are all caught up in the meaning between the lines We fall victim and start our book that redefines Forever altering the word of another Until eventually their voice we smother lost somewhere in translation We all start to insinuate and assume We pull ourselves into the same doom Misleading the words of another How could you do this to your brother We all deserve our chance at what we must say

Bite Your Tongue
Just as soon as I beguine to move my lips I go and get mixed up stuck stuttering with my tongue tied Tripping all over my tone afraid to loose my speech Praying to something I don't know to make my reach I crawl my way across the ground Oh how I've beaten myself up all over again Bite your tongue boy is all I was ever told Never a saying could get more old Always being told to watch what you say Being reminded of it every single day We all have a freedom of speech But freedom really isn't free Every action faces consequence You cant ever pull without a little push on the other side These words that we speak will determine the rise or the fall These words that we speak will determine the population of us all Face your fate to overcome your greatest fear Never loose yourself through the bitterness within a year Finally I think I have conjured the strength to stay I have found the proper way to make it on my own I have found the way to unleash the power with in these words I'll broadcast my message to the world Just to make sure it makes it back to the start Bite your tongue boy is all I was ever told Never a saying could get more old Always being told to watch what you say Being reminded of it every single day We all have a freedom of speech But freedom really isn't free We are all caught up in the meaning between the lines We fall victim and start our book that redefines Forever altering the word of another Until eventually their voice we smother lost somewhere in translation We all start to insinuate and assume We pull ourselves into the same doom Misleading the words of another How could you do this to your brother We all deserve our chance at what we must say
