An open book
    There's no choice in the matter
    But the breath from my mind
    Is living air
    And the notes from my heart
    Are what I share

    Words weren't made for cowards
    There's not much to hide behind
    We can see for a mile
    Without our eyes
    I can see through a smile
    To any lie

    Must I pry your lips apart?
    And look for thoughts
    Look for thoughts
    Beneath your tongue

    So you think nothing said
    Is nothing lost?
    Well, I would buy every line
    At any cost

    Do I have to dig?
    Do I have to prod?
    Reach into your chest
    And pull your feelings out?

    Are you dancing dead?
    Or maybe walking toast?
    If you feel anything
    Be brave
    Come forth
    Let it show

    Tell me what d'you think of life?
    Tell me do you think at all?
    Never fear
    There's a place
    Where you are safe
    Where you don't have to be real
    Or have a face

    My time's too short to waste on
    Things you say without your brain
    Will you paint works of art
    When you speak?
    When you open your mouth
    Will I weep?

    Do I have to dig?
    Do I have to prod?
    Reach into your chest
    And pull your feelings out?

    Are you dancing dead?
    Or maybe walking toast?
    If you feel anything
    Be brave
    Come forth
    Let it show

    I will watch you like a hawk
    Wait for you to make a slip
    Think it's easy to fake what you know?
    You'll never fool anyone
    With your little show

    You are transparent regardless of
    All the efforts made
    Efforts made to mask your face
    You reveal everything in a phrase
    You conceal what your mouth betrays

    Do I have to dig?
    Do I have to prod?
    Reach into your chest
    And pull your feelings out?

    Are you dancing dead?
    Maybe walking toast?
    If you feel anything
    Be brave
    Come forth
    Let it show

    Do I have to dig?
    Do I have to prod?
    Reach into your chest
    And pull your feelings out?

    Are you dancing dead?
    Maybe walking toast?
    If you feel anything
    Be brave
    Come forth
    Let it show
