Lyrics
My mouth is wired shut
Feeling restrained or unable to express oneself verbally.
With my dreads and fears
Struggling with internal anxiety and apprehension.
Can't act
Unable to take action or participate actively.
Can't talk
Experiencing difficulty in communication.
Get me outta here
Desire to escape from the current situation.
Stay away
Expressing a need for distance or solitude.
(Stay away)
Reiteration of the desire for others to stay away.
With your toxic positivity
Criticizing the impact of excessive positive thinking that may not acknowledge real struggles.
I need a home
Seeking a mental or emotional refuge.
For my mind
Desiring a place for mental well-being.
I no longer want to be left behind
Rejecting the feeling of being left behind by others.
A demon chokes me slow
Metaphorical reference to inner struggles represented as a choking demon.
Father please come forth
Appeal to a paternal figure for support or guidance.
Save me from what I've become
Desiring salvation from negative changes in self.
Because I feel so low
Expressing a deep emotional low or depression.
A putrid ooze of shame and guilt slides down my throat
Symbolic description of shame and guilt affecting the individual.
It is poison that I need to be drunk off just to function properly in this world
Viewing a toxic substance as a necessity for normal functioning in society.
It sickens me how often I deprive myself from the pleasure of knowing my self worth
Regretting self-deprivation and undervaluing personal worth.
For thee brother I pray
Praying for others who share similar struggles.
May thou reach the ones who claim my same despair
Wishing for support to reach those in despair.
Land a hand, let them know you're there
Encouraging assistance and connection for those in need.
For thou shall be the one, the one who cares
Acknowledging the importance of caring for others.
Please please
Repeated plea for attention and care.
Please let them know that you care
Emphasizing the urgency of letting others know about caring.
This is a hymn for the broken
Declaring the song as a tribute to those facing difficulties.
No pain shall be left unspoken
Promising not to ignore or silence any pain.
Fear
Expressing a desire to overcome fear.
Fear no more
Encouraging an end to fear, suggesting a message of hope.
