Open Up Your Mouth - Brave Bird

If you don’t look down

The ground comes up to swallow you whole

But you know where to go

It’s not the place but the people that make the home

Open up your mouth

It’s the pill you never wanted to go down

It’s so tough to swallow

The way your father meant for you to go

Everyone that you love

Is hoping you can find your way home

But don’t know where you are

This house is going down and filled with smoke

Open up your mouth

Your body thanks your lung for their support

It’s too tough to swallow

The smog you choke down, I’m saying something gold

Open up your mouth

It’s the words you never thought would come out

All the words that you swallow

Or nothing but a reason to stay home

I don’t want to grow old

I don’t want to die

But there’s nowhere left to go

Give me a reason to follow

I’m giving in, I’ll follow you home
