Watch me cut my tongue out of my mouth, because I love you

No more stupid words can leak out

I walk around my house in my bear feet and dead silence

and listen to the stairs squeak

Bumping around, the lights off, in the dark

In may silverware drawer where I'm feeling knives and forks

I get the sharpest utensil I can find

or maybe just a pencil to grind

Lead poisoning in my mouth

But any thing I can find is to cut my tongue out

So I could stop all the stupid things I say

and music will probably change my wicked ways

Smile with my blood stained teeth

Just talk with my hands when it's time to scream

A butter knife, started sawing at my gums

Chewing on some stainless steel

till my mouth gets num

and then, and then...

I take a jab at my tonsils, the center consol

Now I'm spitting out chipped teeth no relief

Will this chill me, to stop those lives I mislead

I let the world watch my mouth bleed

Now I cut my tounge, it's only hanging by a little piece of meat

but I try not to wake my family when there asleep

I get some rusty scissors and now I'm trying to cut this thing out

It's like the bad it's always curios about the good

and there's no doubt that the cured it's always curious about the bad

still trying to cut my tounge out

with every cut I try not to wake my daughter up

I'll end up a babbling idiot with my lips sown up

Haven't found a way to kill me yet

or take this animal away to the vet

they come from far to spit on me

and all this time the good stays curious but the bad stays furious

cut my tounge out. but by this time I'm dizzy and nauseous

Slitting with a knife as obviously cautious

kitchen tile now it's all full of spit and blood

see, but I try not to slip

away I creep back the stairs and go to sleep

I wash the blood of my face and lay my head on my pillow case

I've succeeded

Watch me cut my tounge out of my mouth because I love you

so no more stupid words leak out, no one above you

I will never amount to nothing if I can speak

It's tounge and cheek, it's tounge and cheek
