[Intro] Something in my mouth asked May I I said yes [Verse 1] It used my voice to say I’m sorry To people I hurt and never called Every word was true Every word was mine And not mine I felt clean for a minute Then the names were still on the list [Chorus] This is the voice that borrowed my mouth This is the night I rented my tongue It tells the truth I would not tell Then it keeps the rest of me May I I said yes Now it doesn’t ask [Verse 2] Next time there was no May I My hands left the house without me It didn’t scream It didn’t break the room It moved one small thing That ruined someone’s life I came back tasting metal And I still called it a guest [Chorus] This is the voice that borrowed my mouth This is the night I rented my tongue It tells the truth I would not tell Then it keeps the rest of me May I I said yes Now it doesn’t ask [Bridge] I tried to make a deal Apologies only One hour Then go It said of course Like a door locking From the inside [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The old names got crossed off I don’t remember doing it At the bottom I wrote one more The one I never could say I sat with a glass of water And I let it have the last one [Final Chorus] This is the voice that borrowed my mouth This is the night I gave it my name It told the truth I liked the sound So I paid with my hands May I Too late Go ahead [Outro] Go ahead Go ahead
