lyrics

I’m not sure
If I’ll ever be able to
Escape from the solitude
Of Introvert’s Prison
I’ve Invested time
In Conversation
But for now I am
Cast onto the brink

Of discussion
On the cusp of interaction
But what should I say?
Or what should I do?

I’m in sea monkey heaven
With not a soul to speak to
It’s a freezing shack of darkness

Better to be silent
Than be gored in conversation
Captured as a mind’s crude afterthought
The dark light planted on my face
And I felt nothing but the shame and disgrace
of inaction
It’s so cerebral but it feels so somatic
And I can’t quite retrieve the schematic
I can’t quite receive the schematic to a good conversation

Sordid actions come about
I need a ladder from the depths
Someone to pull me out
I’d throw my burdens over their shoulders and turn my back
And I won’t speak through Speech
Because
This might cost you
All his potential lost to you
When he opens his mouth
And the words fall, into your ears
And allure slowly falls away from her
But at the expense of all the others the taps run cold

*+*+*+**+*+*+*+*++*+***+*+++*+*+**++*+*++*

Now that we have wiped the slate clean
I’d like no mention of me
When the sky is dead and on the ground
I’m not proud and I’ve got minimal pride
Filled by humble sighs
Quiet and modest throughout life
Flower Jazz Palace of Strife
And my tongue floats in the middle of my mouth
There comes a time when you should grab the knife
And use it as a tool of reconciliation
Rather than a weapon of cruel evasion
An entire life of love
Speak loudly
Speak Clearly
Speak Proudly
Speak with purpose and conviction

Of all things
I have mentioned today
I must say..
I force myself to speak often
To gain upward motion
In social construction
(haha) I’m just kidding
It's just an attempt to
Make Friends
Failed

Mired in love yet admired by none
An entire life struggling above
Soaked through the floor with eternal blood
An eternal life struggling because
Procrastination takes the best of me
Decomposed composure unintentionally
When you ascend, don’t forget me
Clinging to life & I can’t commit to nothing
I’ve never seen the,
I'll never greet the sun
