Tongue

Bite your hopes
Let them bleed
They all lay in front of me
Cut off your morals
In spite of your promises
I wasn't surprised they disappeared

You'll regret it later, much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

Catch your breath
Between your teeth
it always stays there, kid
Twist your mind
Until it bends
I wasn't surprised you disappeared

You'll regret it later, much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

The phrases will eventually slip out
You'll regret it (Oh, you'll regret it)
That you were never honest - With yourself
You'll regret it (Oh, you'll regret it)

Later...much later

Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here
Keeping it all in
Never does the numbness favors
Because you gotta show a little tongue
To get anywhere, here

Bite your tongue.
