Say it

[Intro] (Wait) (Wait) [Verse] The stage is stripped bare One single bulb burns hot Your mouth is a locked vault I watch your throat move The swallow is heavy We stand in the wings Acting out the quiet part The script is missing lines You look at your boots I look at the exit The air is thick today Filled with what you swallowed [Chorus] Say it Just say the word (Say the word) Cut the weight loose Say it Don't let it sit there (Let it drop) One honest word One honest word [Verse] The paint is peeling back I see the wood underneath Your eyes are wide and dark Like you forgot the cue The silence has a shape It sits between our chairs A brick in the chest Hard to breathe through Stop the performance now Take the mask off The theater is closed But the light stays on [Chorus] Say it Just say the word (Say the word) Cut the weight loose Say it Don't let it sit there (Let it drop) One honest word One honest word [Bridge] The clock is biting us Sharp teeth on the wall Tick Tick Tick Stop the acting Break the rhythm Smash the glass Give me the truth Plain And Cold [Chorus] Say it Just say the word (Say the word) Cut the weight loose Say it Don't let it sit there (Let it drop) One honest word One honest word [Outro] One word (One word) Say it (Say it) The light stays on The light stays on (One word) Now (Now)
