Show & Tell
(Written by Marlon Chaplin)

Verse 1

In the past
That’s what’s done and gone
Left it dark in here
But I left a night light on

Diggin’ graves
Picking up the bones
String ‘em up
Make ‘em dance
’Til I’m not alone

Verse 2

I’ve been down
Fear of giving in
Under fire
And I’m tired
Won’t you let me in?

Underneath
Breaking through the dirt
Gimme water
Gimme sun
Gimme self worth

Pre-Chorus

I should have just let it die
Now we’re haunted and it’s still alive
I should have left it behind
But I was waiting on a suicide

Chorus

You are someone else
Into you I fell
Take me off the shelf
I’m your show and tell

Verse 3

Sew me up
Stitch me like a doll
Pull the string
Make me sing at your beck and call

Dust me off
Put me on display
You’ll go out
I’ll always be here to stay

Verse 4

Say a prayer
Speak it to the night
Play it back on a loop
’Til I’m hypnotized

Such a scream
Don’t think I can last
With my lips on your hips
That’s a heart attack

Bridge

I should have just let it die
I should have left it behind

Chorus

You are someone else
Into you I fell
Take me off the shelf
I’m your show and tell
