Tongue Tied by Jesus Jones

Tongue tied
It's killing me

I'm trapped in words
Held hostage by my friends
Tripped up by meaning
Taking a road just to get to it's end

Tongue tied
It's killing me

I wanna see things for the first time
Show you things that are brighter
Darker, sharper, softer

But I'm struck dumb and dead
Thoughts like paper over fire
There's a hole in my world
That makes me talk like a liar

Over there I see a fist fight
A woman in a car full of toys
Smokes a cigarette

Conversations twist and turn
I get the feeling I am learning
More than ever before
This is the first time

Tongue tied
It's killing me
Tongue tied
It's killing me
Tongue tied
It's killing me, me
