Zippermouth

Zippermouth

Give me a second please
let me inhale and breathe
I'll find a way to appease 
The confirmation of my existence that you need
Just when I'm about to finally let the words tumble out 
They get stuck mid way 
So shut me up and call me zippermouth 
Cuz look: I do have teeth but they're just a fashion accessory they don't help me speak 
it's a good place to hide behind this enclosure 
People see me as a freak and don't come any closer 
The only way you'll ever see the thoughts I can never speak 
Is if you unzip me completely 
Make me bare naked thoughts seen esiley 
And unzip the zipper tied to my face to see what's behind 
To look deep into my mind 
But the only way in is to pull it open and get stuck inside 
That's my warning 
If you don't want to see the unchained prisoner no longer tied to the metal chair  
Who's actually just my free spirit roaming, that was decided to be shoved in there 
Then go now and leave 
But don't pretend that you can't see all the other zipperheads along the street 
Thousands that you always meet 
Except they use super glue and find ways to have there zipper removed 
They don't like it being accessible to thieves who are up to no good 
The secret however is; you need one to survive 
Because with a zipper at least there's something precious you have there to hide 
Don't stare at me like that don't gasp at me like that 
I already feel like a freak don't make me feel like I'm under attack 
If you have nothing else to say then pick up your pride and leave me be 
But if not then 
Look in your reflection and shut up and zip up because your just like me 
You're... just like me
And there's nothing wrong with that 
You've stayed for my story 
So stand back 
Pull me open now
my defense is down 
Take one more look at this distiute town 
Because one journey inside of me...
And you'll never be the same 
Call me creativity-
that's my real name.
