Holding Your Tongue
Terror Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink a beer while I take a piss, oh
Staring at someone I'm supposed to love
But all I see is nothingness, nothingness
Yeah, I feel like that
Got me swinging with a broken bat
Staring at someone that I'm supposed to love
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your tongue
Oh, gosh you're fun
Look pretty but you act like scum
Hand on my cunt, light switch
Turn me on, turn me on
What, bitch, you can feel on my gun
First, I come
Half past one, got a car full of nuns
With a Father in the trunk
Mmm, yeah, I feel like that
Got me swinging with a broken bat
Staring at someone that I'm supposed to love
But it looks like the barrel of a gun, it feels like
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
You're holding your
Have you ever felt like this?
Drink a beer while I take a piss, oh
Staring at someone I'm supposed to love
But all I see is nothingness, nothingness
Mmm, yeah, I feel like that (feel like that)
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that (feel like that, feel like that)
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that (feel like that, feel like that)
You're holding your tongue
Yeah, I feel like that
