It is best to keep it all inside   When the quicksand fills your boots and rises past your eyes   It is better to die suffocating and choking on your pride   It is best to keep it all inside      When she’s telling you that you’re no good   And that you’ll never be much more than some fool carved out of wood   It’s best to kill her with your kindness while you’re sleeping in her bed   It is best to keep it all inside      It is never too late to come home   You will always have your box in your room   Where your momma lays your clothes out   And she leaves you where you lie   It is best to keep it all inside      When it’s good it’s really good   When there’s fruit up on the table and she treats you like she should   There’s no need to get excited let your heels click on the floor   It is best to keep it all inside   It is best to keep it all inside
