“Bite Your Tongue” is an intense track that confronts passivity in the face of government sanctioned attacks on human rights. It begs the question, would you sacrifice your comfort to save real human lives?
Beginning from a “conservative” perspective and digging into the “liberal” side in verse 2,...
[Verse 1]
Out of sight, out of mind
Sorry I don’t have the time
It’s their problem not mine
In my world everything’s fine
Don’t understand why you are terrified
Cuz I read in the headline
He tried to put up a fight
And those kids at the borderline
Ship em back they’ll be alright
Follow the rules they’re justified
[Pre-Chorus]
When they say stop, you stop
Now tell me what’s so hard ‘bout that?
When they come ‘round, get down
No questioning or talking back, oh
[Chorus]
You leave us crawling, crawling, crawling
Crawling away
Don’t rеcognize the human face
That suffеrs under the gun
Now we’re all bleeding
Cuz you bite your tongue
[Post-Chorus]
You bite your tongue
You leave us, oh
You leave us crawling away
Oh
[Verse 2]
You think you’re one of the good ones
But you’re silent when the time comes
To speak up for something in light
Work at your little non-profit
To ease your guilty conscience
But without your hashtags
Would you fight to save a life?
Or would you leave us…
[Chorus]
Crawling, crawling, crawling
Crawling away
Don’t recognize the human face
That suffers under the gun
Now we’re all bleeding
Cuz you bite your tongue
[Bridge]
You bite your tongue
You bite your tongue
Yeah you’re silent
You bite your tongue
You bite your tongue
It’s awful quiet
You bite your tongue
You bite your tongue
Yeah you’re silent, Oh
[Chorus]
You leave us crawling, crawling, crawling
Crawling away
Don’t recognize the human face
That suffers under the gun
Now we’re all bleeding
Cuz you leave us
Crawling, crawling, crawling
Crawling away
Don’t recognize the human face
That suffers under the gun
Now we’re all bleeding
Cuz you bite your tongue
