Said it out into the open Didn't aim it at a soul But a thousand different angles Turned it into something cold Every mind a different version Every ear a different sound Like they found the worst intention In the words they turned around What did I even say wrong Where did this all begin I didn't mean it like that How do I say it again Say it clean say it right Don't offend or start a fight Keep it quiet keep it straight Nothing open to debate Cause the things you never said are the loudest in their head Say it neat say it small Don't let meaning grow at all Every word could turn the tide Better keep it safe inside Cause everything you tried to be fades into what they believe Shape your voice till it disappears Go and drown it in a thousand fears Now it's spreading through the voices Every take becomes a fact Like the story's growing bigger Every time that I react Every answer feeds the picture Every silence fills the frame Like there's nothing left I could say That won't add onto the blame Why does it land so heavy When it wasn't aimed at you How do I change the meaning When only you decide what's true Say it clean say it right Don't offend or start a fight Keep it quiet keep it straight Nothing open to debate Cause the things you never said are the loudest in their head Say it neat say it small Don't let meaning grow at all Every word could turn the tide Better keep it safe inside Cause everything you tried to be fades into what they believe Shape your voice till it disappears Go and drown it in a thousand fears But what if we've been mistaken Drawing lines that don't exist What if there's something bigger Than every loaded twist Twist Twist Twist Twist Every loaded twist Twist Twist Twist Twist Twist Twist Every loaded twist Say it straight don't play it safe Let it land don't rearrange No more lines I can't debate I won't edit every phrase Cause the things I never said will only echo in my head I won't edit every phrase Say it loud don't make it small Let it hit or let it fall Every word can turn the tide I won't keep it locked inside Cause everything I ought to be won't break for what you want to see My voice won't disappear I'll say it now No filter here My voice won't disappear I'll say it now No filter here
