Speak Your Mind

Quite often with my songs I'll like them when I've just written them, slap 'em on Facebook and then end up thinking they're awful but this one I still like.

Speak Your Mind 8/7/10

Speak your mind, dear,
It’s all you’ve got left,
Awaken the fear that I’ve kept from your theft,
Speak your mind, dear,
‘Cause I’ll soon speak mine,
Pick up the courage that I’ve left behind,

So feeble is the will of those you call friends,
That they’ll leave you as soon as this façade ends,
They can’t hear the voices inside of your head,
And they can’t understand why you cry in your bed,

But I see you look on with plaintive forlorn,
At the new emotions I see you have born,
You wish the threat of shame would be rid,
But the route to your heart you keep a tight lid,

Speak your mind, dear,
It’s all you’ve got left,
Awaken the fear that I’ve kept from your theft,
Speak your mind, dear,
‘Cause it’ll soon be mine,
Pick up the courage that I’ve left behind,

You had a taste of freedom but that’s all it will be,
You’re trapped you know, and in time you will see,
That love is a bond that isn’t easily broken,
These are the truths you’ll finally choke on,

Speak, your mind,
In time, you’ll be mine,
Speak, your mind,
And then, you see, you’ll be fine.
