Let Me Speak

Stitched Shut

Tied with the thread you cut with your own hands

No Sound

You took my voice and I can’t get it back

How am I supposed to be saved?

When I am still stuck in your closet

Just let my life go to waste

It’s not like I had future plans to make

 

Cut my strings let me speak

Let me speak

I’ve got something to say

Cut the ropes that held me up

Held me up

I’ve gotta make my way

 

Darkness

Surrounds my body as I scream for help

No ones around

From all this heat I have no choice but to melt

Now how am I supposed to be saved?

When I am still in your closet

Just like let my life go to waste

It’s not like I had future plans to make

 

Cut my strings let me speak

Let me speak I’ve got something to say

Cut the ropes that help me up

Held me up

I’ve gotta make my way
