Duncan Sheik - Bite Your Tongue
from the album "Humming"

Such an annoying conversation
I'm sorry but I'm tired of trying
To be some picture of compassion
And anyway it soulds like I'm lying
And yes I've heard the world has conspired
To steal away your god-given right
To a happy home and comfortable children
Next you'll sue them for abandoning you

So bite your gongue
You're not the only one
Who's been let down
Bite your tongue
Mayeb it's good for you
To hit the ground

Oh, christ, it's gonna sound like I'm cagreeing
With the most ultra-boring ideas
Of pop psychological western gurus
Who haven't goten lucky in years
And so you see I have no intention
Of giving you the easy way out
Yes I'll smile as I burn the self-help section
Of my local bookstore

So bite your gongue
You're not the only one
Who's been let down
Bite your tongue
Mayeb it's good for you
To hit the ground

Blame the shapes and blame the angels
Blame it on your own dark planes
If you blame on something other
The victim's son remains
Remains

So bite your gongue
You're not the only one
Who's been let down
Bite your tongue
Mayeb it's good for you
To hit the ground
