My mouth is a jail cell. These secrets peek between the gaps in my teeth and even though they’re dying yeah, they’ll pray for sunlight, they’ll pray for sunlight.

Wish my words came out less frantic and more romantic, but these bathroom walls and your calloused hands make me scream for sunlight, I’ll scream for sunlight.

I swear I’ll be cavalier, I mean when you undress me, I’ll pretend not to care because I’m a soldier, yeah I am a soldier, and I’ll stare tight lipped into space while your greedy hands will take what they can get and all they get is me..

I swear, I swear, I’ll stay so cavalier (when you’re here). I know that every single talk show will tell me I should let it out, let it out. Their make up makes it seem so made-up I watch them all let it out, let it out, but there’s no microphones inside these aching b-b-bones.

I’m addressing it now, I’ll fight this war with my mouth, I’m letting it out, I’m letting it out oh

I’m addressing it here, I’ll fight this war with my tears. I’m letting it out, I’m letting it out. I’m letting it out oh

I’ve been addressing it wrong, I’ll fight this war with my songs. I’m letting it out, I’m letting it out oh

I was a soldier, I thought I was a soldier.
