I Don't know what I believe anymore

Please hand me a mint, because I've been sticking my foot in my mouth all day.
And if I'm going to keep saying stupid things, I may as well have good breath while doing it.

You wonder why after years of experience you still bite your tongue (hurts everytime).
And after holding it in, it sometimes slips.

That's when meanings and feelings get broken.
Water, help wash this down.
It's on my own words that I am choking.

There's reasons why I stay silent so often. Mumbled words, not very outspoken.
The message gets scrambled somewhere between my lips and my mind.

Sew this jaw shut. Just leave room to breath.
