Emilee Petersmark - Spit It Out

{Verse 1}
All my life, I've been holding a howl in my lungs
My lungs, my lungs
Hidden wells of conviction trapped beneath my tongue
My tongue, my tongue

{Bridge}
I feel it build like a storm throwing hail against the windows
Assailing every door
I feel it build like a geyser flooding in the basement
Coming up beneath the floor

{Chorus}
I'll spit it out, can't hide it anymore
Can't set myself on fire just to keep you warm
I'll spit it out, I need for you to hear me
I need for you to know

{Verse 2}
All my life, lived in layers of curtains on a stage
A stage, a stage
And I would say whatever lines you wrote for me to say
To say, to say

{Verse 3}
And I still wish I could be thе character you crafted
The hеro in your story
And I still wish I could say that parts of me wanted
The things I'll never be

{Chorus}
I'll spit it out, can't hide it anymore
Can't set myself on fire just to keep you warm
I'll spit it out, I need for you to hear me
I need for you to know

{Refrain}
I still dream of quicksand, I still dream of loose teeth
There are frightened parts of me that you never see
That you never see, that you never see

{Chorus}
I'll spit it out, can't hide it anymore
Can't set myself on fire just to keep you warm
I'll spit it out, I need for you to hear me
I need for you to know
All the things I never told anyone before
All the things I never told anyone before
