Into your mouth goes this bitter pill
This is the sign of poison
And it makes me say "i can't,"
'Cause I have learned to close my mouth
I have learned to take this in
I have learned to close my mouth
But I will not swallow you

I see my friends force fed with this self-hatred
This is your legacy
Is it you, just for you?
Unhappy

'Cause I have learned to close my mouth
I have learned to take this all in
I have learned to close my mouth
But I will not swallow you
'Cause I eat cake
I eat cake
I made it myself
I eat the cake that says "I can,"

'Cause I have learned these lessons so well
I have learned this so, so well
I have learned to close my mouth
But I will not swallow you
In my arms for so long
In my veins for so long
What you're doing to me is wrong
And there's no pity for you in my song
'Cause I have learned to close my mouth
I have learned these lessons well
Yeah, I have learned to close my mouth
But I will not swallow you

You have taught me all these years
But my body is mine, so I spit you out
I have learned to close my mouth
But I will not swallow you
