i guess it's true - what i've always heard

we make ourselves feel better with hurtful words

and more times than i care to even know

we hurt the ones we love the most



forgiveness is what i'm looking for

but you don't owe me anything at all

it feels like i'm stabbing my own back

i can't believe i'm drowning in the words

i should not own



and so this day I make a vow

to never open my mouth

against another living soul

be it friend or foe



but is this real

or empty conviction?

just another good idea

because I'm a Christian?



just to make sure

i'll cut out my tongue

destroy the transducers

and make myself numb



destroy the transducers
