Say It Louder

(Verse One)

There came a year where I felt the need to be old fashioned

A debonair not afraid of being caught having sinned

The next day that need had suddenly come to fruition

That heat lightning shocked down my spine, a welcomed addition

I'm sorry, you don't look so well, do you feel feverish?

I am the sender, you should know who the receiver is

Clad with static palms to complement all my past mistakes

And darling you should know it's meant to melt all of my aches (Aches)

(Pre-Chorus)

They always say to write something poetic  (Poetic)

Something gothic, Victorian aesthetic

Remember my promise, I made long ago (Ago)

It was something honest, it did help me grow

Explore the caverns, please do not be afraid (Afraid)

Just stuck in a place where I once indeed laid

I have made these expectations for myself (Myself)

Something I wish I could just put on a shelf

(Chorus)

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

Yeah, it is like I inhaled gunpowder

Act like I'm a concubine, to you that is fine

"If you want to shine, your words should be dipped in brine"

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

It worked, but despite that I'm still a doubter

(Verse Two)

No longevity, it's the skeleton in my closet

I might as well have just shuffled my feet on the carpet

I'm in need for a change, isn't that ironic?

Change motored by buttons and wires, something electronic

A spider web makes me feel like I just swallowed my tongue

I'm running out of oxygen, I need an iron lung

Don't want all the walls to crumble, don't want to go south

Don't want everyone to have a sour taste in their mouth

(Pre-Chorus)

They always say to write something poetic (Poetic)

Something gothic, Victorian aesthetic

They say that things will never again align (Align)

Those worries were heard all throughout the grapevine

I know that things have changed, but I feel the same (Same)

They make me think I have a faulty mind to blame

I have made these expectations for myself (Myself)

Something I wish I could just put on a shelf

(Chorus)

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

Yeah, it is like I inhaled gunpowder

Act like I'm a concubine, to you that is fine

"If you want to shine, your words should be dipped in brine"

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

It worked, but despite that I'm still a doubter

(Bridge)

I know you want me to bask in moonlight

And some to suffer an eternal blight

I treat my surroundings with utmost grace

Shed off my old skin, but not to replace

I don't want the colors to turn to grey

When dancing in the dark, one thing to say

(Chorus)

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

Yeah, it is like I inhaled gunpowder

Act like I'm a concubine, to you that is fine

"If you want to shine, your words should be dipped in brine"

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

It worked, but despite that I'm still a doubter

(Verse Three)

Some say it's not a mistake, just a happy accident

And I can't help but agree since it feels as it once did

I should want to listen to my head and not my tell-tale heart

Don't want to go back to square one, to hit restart

Yet this feeling in my chest makes me worry I'm inept

Comfort is a feeling that makes others see me as unkempt

There's no shame in feeling a little sentimental

Just makes people think I reversed something developmental

(Pre-Chorus)

They always say to write something poetic (Poetic)

Something gothic, Victorian aesthetic

Seems the sands of time have the odds against me (Me)

Results are the same to a certain degree

With that it seems my fame has reached the skies (Skies)

When I descend I'll see the faults with my eyes

I have made these expectations for myself (Myself)

Something I wish I could just put on a shelf

(Chorus)

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

Yeah, it is like I inhaled gunpowder

Act like I'm a concubine, to you that is fine

"If you want to shine, your words should be dipped in brine"

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

It worked, but despite that I'm still a doubter

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

Yeah, it is like I inhaled gunpowder

Act like I'm a concubine, to you that is fine

"If you want to shine, your words should be dipped in brine"

Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder (Say it louder, say it louder, say it louder)

It worked, but despite that I'm still a doubter
