I took an oath of silence
Never again will I speak
Sometimes I find myself saying
Things that make others shriek
No more will words pop out
Whenever I feel like it
Whether I\'m right or wrong
My mouth will remain zipped
Sometimes I don\'t control
Whatever I have to say
It may come out rather harsh
When I didn\'t mean it that way
I am mostly misunderstood
And it tends to get to me
Though I try to be careful
And don\'t react and let things be
No longer will I talk
About what races in my mind
I will keep it locked in there
Maybe I\'ll seem a bit more kind
