I guess its true- what I’ve always heard 
We make ourselves feel better with hurtful words 
And more times than I even care to know 
We hurt the ones we love the most 
Forgiveness is what I’m looking for 
But you don’t owe me anything at all 
I'm sorry, It feels like I’m stabbing my own back 
I can’t believe I’m drowning in the words I should not own 

And so today I take a vow 
To never open up my mouth 
Against another living soul 
Be it friend or be it foe 

But is this real 
Or empty conviction 
Just a good idea 
Because I’m a Christian 

Just to make sure 
I’ll cut off my tongue 
Destroying transduction 
And make myself numb 

Destroying transduction
