Words

There's nowhere to hide
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
But your words are like weapons
And your words are like weapons
But your words are like weapons
Cut me down to size and paralyze me

But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
Now I wanna coax you from your hell
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside

I am so afraid of breaking what we made
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground
Into an alley, the hidden valley where the truth can surely spill

And I just wanna listen to your words
It is delicate and lovely but it's a weight above me
With the contents of your pretty little head
They took you away from me
Tell me something I don't really need to know

I'd like to step into your world, show me a secret
But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
There's a lock, someone's stolen the key
I see a bible, yeah, I've seen a bible in your eyes
Somewhere that no one can read you
Spare this treasure that I have found
Well, I just wanna listen

And treading water from your shore
And you keep it together, all those feelings inside
Full of metaphor and something for the faithless in me

But you keep them inside, they cut like a knife
I wanna cross the great divide that keeps me swimming
And your words are like weapons
All those codes and hidden meanings
Gimme somewhere else to go, give me one thing
There's nowhere to hide but away from me
I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm
