Silver Tongues

(album: Where The Mind Wants To Go / Where You Let It Go - 2017)

They say don't bother with another
They try to pull me under
Flailing arms, I'm fighting for my lungs
No need to get it back back now, it's in my blood
Heartbeat's louder than my gut
Running on what's been there all along
I'm not falling off

I'm not getting old
They say I'll come back with something bitter
But I'll make it so much better
Not falling off
And I'm not on my own
No need to pull myself together
I've got more right now than ever

Why must we always compare ourselves to others?
Lie to one another
Cut me down to make yourself feel tall
No need to call me back back now
My phone's turned off
Waste my time with silver tongues...
'Cause even when you try to silence the voice
You give them a choice to yell it back that much louder now

I'm not falling off
I'm not getting old
They say I'll come back with something bitter
But I'll make it so much better
Not falling off
And I'm not on my own
No need to pull myself together
I've got more right now than ever

And never again will I spend all the precious time that I have left
On those who oppose anyone doing what they love
And if you ever forget what was said
Between all the talks and wasted breath
I hope that you won't start again from the bottom
(It's alright, it's alright, it's alright to start from the bottom)
And never again will I spend all the precious time that I have left
On those who oppose anyone doing what they love
And if you ever forget what was said
Between all the talks and wasted breath
I hope that you won't start again from the bottom

I'm not falling off
I'm not getting old
They say I'll come back with something bitter, but I'll make it so much better
Not falling off
And I'm not on my own
No need to pull myself together
I've got more right now than ever

Not going out on a limb
No need to prove it again
I feel it under my skin
Giving it all to the end
