The Open Book (Part Two)

from It's Hard to Speak Through Chattering Teeth by The Will to Survive

	/

lyrics

Make my way wise and blameless
Curb my tongue and teeth when I am impetuously shameless
With you as my fortress, of whom shall I be afraid

Soft spoken words will get you deeper
For swords that clash against me will meet my armor
Everything is missing... just shades of grey in a tapestry

Fire me as clay and glaze, that I'll grow stronger
For in the hands of the architect, I'll neither stray nor wander
Sand me down, oh carpenter, remove my stain
For a tiny seed choked by dust and weeds, send the rain

Plagued by heat and gnashing teeth, I never meant to fall this deep
