bite my tongue (annotated) - ross millet lyrics

[part 1, spoken]
chapter 3, james 3:5*8 & 11
“likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. the tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. it corrupts the body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire; it is itself set on fire by h*ll. all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. can both freshwater and saltw*ter flow from the same spring?”
our speech is a reflection of our identity. the way we speak changes the way we live, but if we’re true followers of christ, he will change the way we speak for the better
james likens our tongue, what we say, to a small flame that creates a massive fire. when we let ourselves say evil things, we provide a chance to damage ourselves and others
being a saltw*ter river, or saying the right thing some of the time and the wrong things other times, doesn’t reflect christ
we should be in constant pursuit of taming our tongues, no matter how hard it is; having wholesome speech and building others up
it’s a constant fight to set aside our bitterness and envy, our selfish ambition, but working to be intentional and christ*like with our tongue is important
here’s “bite my tongue.”

[part 2]
do*do*do*do
la*la*la*la*la
woah, i keep sayin’ things i don’t mean
woah, my own lips are poison to me
bite my tongue

i’ll set a forest on fire
with a match and kerosine
you say i’m a liar
but you don’t really know me
i’m full of malice and envy
fill up a chalice and pour it out
my heart is calloused and heavy
corrupted by the words i speak

my tongue is evil and restless
i’m screaming, reckless
need to grab ahold of the reins
but my life’s going up in flames

woah, i keep sayin’ things i don’t mean
woah, my own lips are poison to me
bite my tongue

i been setting off fires with all of my words
burning rubber tryna get away
tryna scream but my speech is slurred
my tongue is lethal and i can’t escape
like an animal untamed
i don’t know when to shut up
i like to keep my mouth clean
but i don’t like, what the ffff*
i’m sorry
i’m a saltw*ter river
i’m falling
i’m resentful and bitter
sad story
my ego keeps getting bigger
i can’t keep my tongue under control
my tongue is evil and restless
i’m screaming, reckless
need to grab ahold of the reins
but my life’s going up in flames

woah, i keep sayin’ things i don’t mean
woah, my own lips are poison to me
bite my tongue

i been setting off fires with all of my words
burning rubber tryna get away
tryna scream but my speech is slurred
my tongue is lethal and i can’t escape

woah*oh*oh
ooh
my tongue is lethal and i can’t escape
