Shut me up quiet, you do

Love me and leave me, would you?

Twist me up, tickled inside

When everybody's outside

Everybody's outside

When somebody needs to listen

When somebody needs to talk

There's safety in silence here

When I won't feel so sure

Tie me up tightly, you do

Afraid that I'll get out, are you?

Wicked and watchful inside

Different on the outside

You're different on the outside

When somebody needs to listen

When somebody needs to talk

There's safety in silence here

When I won't feel so sure

Thoughts keep dripping and

I keep falling now

Something has to give

The sooner, the better now

Thoughts keep dripping and

Words keep falling now

Something has to give

The sooner, the better now

Keep me up wired, you do

Cornered and frightened of you

Cut up till I'm terrified

Laughing on the outside

Laughter's always outside

When somebody needs to listen, do you?

When somebody needs to talk

There's safety in silence here

When I won't feel so sure

Shut me up silent, you do

I want to be safe inside of you

Stripped until I'm petrified

I'm never going outside

Never going outside

Hey

Oh the sooner, the better now

The sooner, the better now

I'm never going outside

Never going outside

The sooner, the better now
