For too long I've played it safe

Did everything that you wanted me to do for you

I held my tongue, closed my eyes

Did everything that a good boy's supposed to do but I

In the blur of right and wrong

I found a voice that describes it the best

Mightier than one thousand swords

It calms the storm it creates and reshapes my face

My disclaimer

I say what I want

I need to find a word that doesn't exist

I can be a master or a slave

Wear a thousand different faces you'd never resist


[Chorus]

Tell me to say what I want to

And then you pin it on me

Expected to pay for what I can't do

And then you tell me it's free but that I'll never be

Maybe I made a mistake saying everything I wanted to

You've got your finger pointed straight at me

I hope you hear these words because I'm talking to you and I

Wasted my time, my breath, and everything that I gave to you

Freedoms fulfilled take their toll

Show me the one and only word that describes you


[Chorus]

You're quick to judge

I'm serving my sentence

Every word I write is evidence

Forgive me for my honesty

I can't learn to choke on these words and I won't

Then you pin it on me

Disclaimer, I'll say what I want

Complaint, you add your name to the list

If I can find the words you will

I've got nothing to hide and no one to impress


[Chorus]

Quick to judge

I'm serving my sentence

Every word I write is evidence

Forgive me for my honesty

Can't learn to choke on these words and I won't

So you pin it on me

So you pin it on me

Pin it on me

Pin it on me
