Zip

(Zip it out, zip-zip-zip it out)

Words fly out before I think
Like rivers breaking, on the brink
Tongue untied, I lose control
Spilling secrets from my soul

Wish I could rewind the sound
Pull my voice back from the ground

Zip it up, hold it tight
Close my mouth, stop the fight
Zip it up, don't let go
Before the words steal the show
Zip it up, keep it inside
Silence is the safer side
Zip it up, I'm paying the price
For every word that slipped like ice

Silent walls, they close in fast
Regrets are shadows from the past
If I could choose, I'd just be still
But words escape against my will

Every sentence, sharp and wild
Leaves a scar, a broken child
I try to pause, to hold the line
But my thoughts cross every time

If only silence spoke for me
Maybe then I'd finally be free

Zip it up, hold it tight
Close my mouth, stop the fight
Zip it up, don't let go
Before the words steal the show
Zip it up, keep it inside
Silence is the safer side
Zip it up, I'm paying the price
For every word that slipped like ice

Silent walls, they close in fast
Regrets are shadows from the past
If I could choose, I'd just be still
But words escape against my will

Maybe one day I'll learn to stay
Quiet when the feelings sway
Till then I stumble, till then I slip
Caught inside this endless zip

Zip it up, hold it tight
Close my mouth, stop the fight
Zip it up, don't let go
Before the words steal the show
Zip it up, keep it inside
Silence is the safer side
Zip it up, I'm paying the price
For every word that slipped like ice

Silent walls, they close in fast
Regrets are shadows from the past
If I could choose, I'd just be still
But words escape against my will
