DEATH / SILENCE Lyrics

Listen

I'm trying not to mention it, but you're asking the wrong questions

I'm twiddling my thumbs trying not to mention it

But you're asking the wrong kind of questions

It's not my fault

I smile to myself widely

Impolitely

I think you need to do some balancing

Juggling

Smuggling philosophy into the conversation like a melon in my t-shirt

Struggling

Fumbling

Bumbling

Carry the weight of the world on my pinky toe

That's pretty impressive though

Tell Sisyphus he's a sissy with that boulder

I'm a holder of no secrets

I spill what's in my mind at any given time

Given time we are all poets

Given enough time each of us is a poet

People think its best to outgrow it

I think it's better to take the time and just grow it

A heart filled with sonnets gone unwritten

Oh what a shame

And oh what a shame

Oh what a shame

Oh what a shame

Listening to the rain

Trying to find a rhyming word other than pain

Why not gain?

Splendour, Abundance

God tells me to keep on growing and I nod wisely

Wizardly

Indecipherably differently

Unwittingly

It seems to be only me

It seems to be only me

But how can that be?

I think all this alone time is fucking with me

I may be small, but I'll die a colossus

Deep inside my bones like phosphorous

It's preposterous I'm not the size of a rhinoceros

Bellowing from the roofs and the tree tops

I do not have an inside voice!

Quiet or loud was never a choice

I will be silent when I'm dead

I will be silent when I'm dead
