lyrics

A delicate haze hung over me, as I woke from another dream.
Every nerve in my body felt like a strained harp string.
And the message I got was to have the courage to change.
Veiled ghosts hurried past me, can I put them to rest?
Saying things we wish we hadn't, truth is like an avalanche.

Say what you mean, mean what you say,
but don't say it mean, don't be afraid
Say what you mean, mean what you say,
what do you need, what do you mean?

I don't want to read between the lines, I stand guard at my mind I know I'll survive.
Such torments of grief we endure over a tongue without cure.
The sealed walls that surround you, you think for protection.
The tangled tongue that twists into such, such destruction.

Say what you mean, mean what you say,
don't say it mean, don't be afraid.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.

Say what you mean, mean what you say,
don't say it mean, don't be afraid.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
What do you need, what do you mean?

Say what you mean, mean what you say,
don't say it mean, don't be afraid.
Say what you mean, say what you mean.
What do you need, what do you mean?
