The Shape I’m In

[Verse 1]
I bury all my secrets deep
I scream out loud when I'm asleep
I smashed the mirror more than twice
I have no problem telling lies
I drowned a bird when I was eight
I have a hard time telling love from hate
The list is long, my temper short
I don’t know what I'm looking for

[Chorus]
I wanna know the shape I'm in
The shape I’m in
I wanna know before I'm outta here, I'm outta here

[Verse 2]
I trembled when I heard his voice
And still it sounds the loudest noise
It shakes me 'til I can't stand up
I tend to drink until I drop
And just like him I roam these streets
I'm trying hard to tame the beast
That's in our blood for a hundred years
I swear I'll make it disappear

[Chorus]
I want you to know the shape I’m in
The shape I’m in
I want you to know before you're outta here, you’re outta here
I want you to know

[Verse 3]
I found a bird out on the street
With broken wings, it would not eat
I patched it up and took it home
I would not leave that bird alone
And I opened up the windows wide
Until one day it flew outside
And it sang a song I've never known
I hope someday I'll sing my own

[Outro]
I want you to know
I wanna know
I want you to know
I wanna know
I want you to know
