Paraffin

Your mouth grew into your mind
No longer afraid to say what you think
You've realized that you're not as small
As they would like you to believe

Don't feign approval anymore
And don't you you shy away
They are the ones who'll choke on their words
Believe what you say

They threaten and manipulate
Shadows afraid of the light that creates them
They spit in your face to test you
They only show when it's safe

Don't feign approval anymore
And don't you you shy away
They are the ones who'll choke on their words

Drawn to each pole, you can be swayed
With a voice in each ear, they coax you away
You never took the time to weigh your thoughts
You never thought you could be held responsible

They are the ones who'll choke on their words
Believe what you say
