I Know How To Speak

(album: The Black Mile Demos - 2018)

I know how to speak
And I know where I'm going
I wanted to seek
But I got distracted

It's a mirage
One that leaves me embarrassed
Because no one knows me like you
You know there's nothing left for you
So I continually move
Try to pass it through for ya
Does that bore ya?

Asked about pain
It's timeless and honest
So let go of your shame
It's dead dampening blanket
It's a facade
Go back and look at your training

There's nobody else like you
I think I finally explained it
I continue to move
Between the bank and the blanket
Don't fake it

I really am gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul
I really am gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart in spite of my soul

I want your name
Burnt in my ceiling
Floats like a flame
An unpredictable wonder
You gave it all hope
That all of this is a circle

There's nobody else like you
So many that came before ya
This is the moment I choose
Between the hope and the harness
So be honest

I'm really gonna try this time
Gonna give you my heart
In spite of my soul
