Paraffin

Your mouth grew into your mind

No longer afraid to say what you think

You've realized that you're not as small

As they would like you to believe

Don't feign approval anymore

And don't you you shy away

They are the ones who'll choke on their words

Believe what you say

They threaten and manipulate

Shadows afraid of the light that creates them

They spit in your face to test you

They only show when it's safe

Don't feign approval anymore

And don't you you shy away

They are the ones who'll choke on their words

Drawn to each pole, you can be swayed

With a voice in each ear, they coax you away

You never took the time to weigh your thoughts

You never thought you could be held responsible

They are the ones who'll choke on their words

Believe what you say
