why should i explain myself to you?
you're just a cup of seawater, only the balance rings true.
i'm sick to death of all the words you want from me;
only fools put faith in words, they live in blessed lunacy.
none of their laws or conversations hold your ungulate grace.
this length of rope, this dimpled hyperbole, might never come back home.
it was that time of morning when the frost still stuck to the windows,
and every sound carried for miles
in the wide open mouth of the day;
but in the meantime, i've got a foot or both on the ground.
and i can never, ever hear myself think here,
so when you come out to see me, the noise will fill an ocean.
when you cross my mind, i might as well be walking on marbles:
small and cold, live in a state of cheap sedation.
