Keep It Down!
today i heard myself
begin to spell it out
the shape of what i felt
i put your hand over my mouth
cuz i hate the way that sound
vibrates and hangs around
can't place what i get on about
but you hear me and it helps
your tongue's a twisted mound
and you're looking at the ground
too late to take your way and change it now
you learned to keep it down
and nothings gonna change it now
unless you do
every scratch inside your throat when you sing out
when you were dancing in that picture with your brother
you looked proud
and i was too
when i was little
now it's too small to be found
we learn to keep it down
