Michael Millward - Through Gritted Teeth (Original)

So here is another original. I wrote this song a while back and would have put it up sooner but i had some trouble with equipment :/ I wanted to write something acoustic as it was something i hadn't done before and i think it turned out pretty well.
The lyrics were inspired by a conversation that i had with a friends a while back and the issues and things we talked about. For more info one that or any other questions you have inbox me.
Otherwise enjoy and comment any thoughts you have. I'd also really like to know how you guys interpreted the song so if you want to, chuck that down there as well.
Thanks for listening!

LYRICS

VERSE 1
she said...

Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me that's real
Cause I have felt
More than I can feel

But not for him
The unknown
The undecided
The unopposed

I can feel the pressure
Pulling on my virgin heart
These heirloom words rip-up
A book before it even has a font

I can taste it
On my tongue
How a babes rights
Can come undone

PRE CHORUS 1
The water is rising, the wake of the waves
Her empty promise about to be paid
From behind the cat I saw a lion stirred
And it roared to be heard, she said

BRIDGE
It's not a smile, the crowds naive
And we can live more than we can breathe
Oh when I asked what came of your time
I'll already know what came of mine

CHORUS
So let's run, away
crawl out of this cave into the light of the day

Lets run, from here
Where we can see things so clearly. no pressure and without fear

Lie to me, lie to me
Through gritted teeth and naive appear

Lie to me, through gritted teeth
If you think it's a bad idea

VERSE 2
She said...

Are you kidding?
They'll use chains
Want freedom of choice

And hope runs through my veins
And I still love
And I still care

But I can feel wind
Running through my hair
For that I'm a bad stain,

Yeah how do I dishonour?
Fighting for what should be mine
And searching, running for a cure

Cause I don't want to
End up like my...
She laid under a scythe
While he watched her die

PRE CHORUS 2
The faces we see are the people we know
The words that they speak are the memories we sow
From behind the cat I saw a lion see
And it roared to be free, she said

BRIDGE

CHORUS

OUTRO
I said...

It'll be different
It'll be alright
Just don't forget
The words of tonight
X2

You'll be fine...
