Shut Me Up

The song wants to repeat just now
It sings itself to show you how
It throws away its finest line
Just to keep the feel and time
Just to keep
The feel and time
It throws away now
Its finest line
The word wants just to leave my tongue
To turn your face, and when that’s dope
I’ve got no use for what it proves
It only means the way you move
It only means
The way you move
I’ve got no use now
For what it proves
Close your eyes and shut my mouth
The day has worn its welcome out
It pats you down and cuffs your hands
And makes its bed right where you stand…
The prayer wants to believe in you
And does in spite of all you do
It sings itself just like a song
When hope is weak and pride is strong
When hope is weak
And pride is strong
It sings itself now
Just like a song
The thought wants nothing more than show
How little now you really know
It burns then it turns cold and mean
Taking any offer sight unseen…
The song wants to repeat just now
It sings itself to show you how
It throws away its finest line
Just to keep the feel and time
Just to keep
The feel and time
It throws away now
Its finest line
