Come Undone

The blood is in the water and your thoughts are bleeding out The vultures they are circling 'round the carcass of your doubt You sense the end is coming still they're picking at the bones And you try to reach the surface but you're sinking like a stone And if you bite your tongue, maybe peace will come, maybe you'll come undone It's a fragile conversation that you whisper in your sleep A dirty little secret that you promised not to keep And you're scratching at the blister 'cos there's something underneath And you wrap it up in sorrow but it doesn't bring relief But if you bite your tongue, maybe the end will come, maybe you'll come undone And it's just a simple question Some easy words to say You try to reach the answer but there's something in the way And the truth is getting restless It knows no other way It's hard to hear the silence when there's nothing left to say And you're pulling at the threads and now the truth has come unspun It's spilling out like water and the cup has over run It catches in your throat but still you want to end the drought It's poison on your lips but you can't spit it from your mouth But if you bite your tongue, maybe peace will come, maybe you'll come undone You think you're coming undone You're treading water and you're coming unspun You keep on biting your tongue The truth is restless, and the silence won't come And you're looking for an answer but it's hidden far too deep You dig it from your memory and your thoughts begin to creep You find it and you let it find its way out of your head It's hanging in the air and then message falls like lead And if you bite your tongue, maybe peace will come, maybe you'll come undone And it's just a simple question Some easy words to say You try to reach the answer but there's something in the way And the truth is getting restless It knows no other way It's hard to hear the silence when there's nothing left to say
