Whenever I say what I think

I just get into trouble

I don't even have to blink

And I'm surrounded by rubble

My world and my will

Will suddenly have had their fill

And I'll finally reach the haunting hour

And there'll be nothing left to devour

If you could say what you think

For just one day

Without any consequences

Could you hold yourself at bay

Or hold up any defences?

And after it's all been said and done

Will you be on the run

From the person you've become?

A part of you will die

And you'll feel empty inside

But it's all your own damn fault

For not bothering to stop

When you should've at least halted

Just to look up

Instead of running to the top

Of the bloody state house steps

If you could say what you think

For just one day

Without any consequences

Could you hold yourself at bay

Or hold up any defences?

And after it's all been said and done

Will you be on the run

From the person you've become?

Words can cause people to sway

And carry them away

And sometimes I wonder

If I'm even any better

That the people that I say I hate

Or if I'm simply put in checkmate

By some badly thought out moves

And having nothing left to prove

If you could say what you think

For just one day

Without any consequences

Could you hold yourself at bay

Or hold up any defences?

And after it's all been said and done

Will you be on the run

From the person you've become?

You know you can't do

Anything worse

But your words

Already flew

And there's absolutely nothing

That's left for you to do

That isn't only breathing

Or feeling bitter rue

If you could say what you think

For just one day

Without any consequences

Could you hold yourself at bay

Or hold up any defences?

And after it's all been said and done

Will you be on the run

From the person you've become?

So you might as well say what you think

Before you tumble off the brink

Cause we all already know

What's hiding in your thoughts

And what's waiting down below

Just spit it out already

Before you go and die

'Cause soon it'll be midnight
