lyrics

It's clear you're afraid of words
You abstain yourself from speaking
Can't take the weight of words
So you'll be crushed right underneath them


Cuz they'll cut you deep
Without spilling blood
Leaving it to boil instead
Whatchu need is a thicker skin
And to get it through your thick thick head to


Speak up
What's the use of keeping it inside
Speak up
You can bottle up your feelings but you
Sure can't hide, no


You sure can't hide, no


It's clear you have an opinion
And think it's best not to share it
I'll tell you right now
If that were the case
You wouldn't form one in the first place


No don't kid yourself
If you wanna be small
Why stop there
Why bother being anything at all


See you been lying to me
You been lying to you
Well I hope you made your bed cuz
You can lie in that, too


Now speak up
As if you don't have a choice
Speak up
Why else would you have a voice
Speak up
Let it all come flowing you your mouth
Speak up
No use for it inside so
Just let it out


Don't fight it, baby
(Ugh)


Now speak up
The tighter you keep your lip
The more you wanna say
Speak up
Life's too short for secrets
Go ahead and say it anyway


Speak up
Speak up now, ooo hoo hoo
Speak up
Speak up, speak up now
Speak up, speak up, speak up

Having lost his father in the attack on the World Trade Center, Stout spent his childhood turning to music and theatrical performance for healing. Stout stays true to an intimate approach to making the music, recording vocals in a repurposed broom closet to make listeners feel that much closer. ... more
