And sent to me on a floating breez,
Periodically throughout the year,
Is a little message from someone
Sent for me to hear

I catch one and then the next
And reread what I've read
Then think hard before I return
My little message filled with led

I toss it out and it sinks and falls
For it knows it covers lies
My writing reads one thing
While my heart wears the desquize

If just one would make it
Then you could peel apart
My letter and burn to ash
The package which conceals my heart

To reveal the truth
Look beyond the words that I have said
And dig deep into
That hardened ball of lead
