I’m standing in the room With my mouth open wide I’m saying all the words But nothing makes it outside Eyes on me like glass Hands already crossed Every time I breathe I feel the weight of loss I learned to talk in silence I learned to walk alone Every time I open up I stack another stone Say less Feel more Hold still Take the cold Say less Feel more Skin thick Let it show Say less Feel more Don’t break Don’t fold Say less Feel more I wore it on my face Every crack, every doubt They call it being real Till it doesn’t fit their mouth I learned to keep it tight I learned to keep it clean If you don’t harden up You don’t get to see the dream I learned to talk in silence I learned to walk alone Every time I open up I stack another stone Say less Feel more Hold still Take the cold Say less Feel more Skin thick Let it show Say less Feel more Don’t break Don’t fold Say less Feel more Then I met something rare Didn’t ask, didn’t stay Just a shimmer in the dark That took the walls away I’m a glass house in a hail storm Every hit goes straight through Didn’t know I still could shatter Didn’t know I still bruised Say less Feel more Say less Feel more Skin thick Heart open Say less Feel more You don’t get the wonder Without learning the cold
