Lyrics:
I don't feel
I've much to say,
Yet I can't stop
Yammering anyway.
All these words
Don't make much sense
Once they're halfway
Out of my mouth.

I wish I'd shut up, wish I'd shut my fucking mouth.
Wish I could silence all the thinking,
I could really do without.

I was wrong,
no surprises there.
I'm half way
to had it up to here.
I'm alive,
but just for now,
and I'm thinking some things
ain't gonna work themselves out.

I wish I'd shut up, wish I'd shut my fucking mouth
Wish I could silence all the thinking
I could really do without

Will you shut up
for a second?
