OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE

I went to the dentist just the other day
And this is what he had to say to me
He said you're looking good, you're doing just fine
But you're biting your tongue too much in your life

He said open your mouth wide
And tell me everything that's inside of your mind

What if everybody did that, said what they thought and said it loud
We would grow so much faster if we didn't
Filter our thoughts through the crowd

So open your mouth wide
And tell me everything that's inside of your mind

Everything, tell me everything, everything inside your mind
Said don't give just a peek, give me everything inside
I want everything, tell me everything, everything inside your mind
Said don't give just a peek, flood me with everything inside
And open your mouth wide

The dentist said to me, How do you feel?
I said I'm doing just fine, thanks, how 'bout you?
Then I realized that I didn't even think about what might be true
Just gave the automated safe response, "Fine, how 'bout you?"

Open your mouth wide and tell me everything that's inside of your mind
Open your mouth wide and spill out every raw truth inside your mind
