In a society of twisted tongues Chatter is abundant and overwhelms people So they shrivel away their ears And learn to shout So others can hear Speech becomes an addiction To feed our desire for attention We grow up in a world were we are asked to be out spoken But never learn to speak out But all we have to do Is reach out And listen Listen To the ocean Who's tides go as steady as your heart Listen to the wolves Declaring this land as their own From the world, we can learn so much And I wish we would If we would just Reach out And listen

Reach out and listen
I envy those who are social dancing around from person to person everyone seems to like you you change your mask quicker then they can change their opinions never letting anyone see your face I envy you and your ability to be loved you don't understand what its like to be afraid of a hello because it might be something more you cant comprehend the fear of a surprise because that's how the get close enof to hurt you and i envy you your ability to look ford because no one wants to stab your back your smile chiseled in ivory because you have no reason to be sad and I envy you or i did until I became you a rose striped petal by petal as people attempted to earn my love they fell at my feat unaware that I was covered with thorns poised to **** I covered my body with plastic so I could be fake enof for you and I juggled masks like a fool at a party nothing more then entertainment and I envy those so aren't social covered in stone your heart is well protected eyes closed you don't have to see the truth mouths shut you can avoid the judgement and I envy you

I don't want to open my mouth to speak means Ive accepted that I want to talk to you you who hurt me so bad but i want to talk to you and I just don't understand why why would i speak when all you do is sew my lips and remove my tough brand me with your cruel jokes all you do is make me feel bad but your kiss mends the bones you've shattered and your touch calms the tides of emotions you've evoked so i don't want to open my mouth but I want to talk to you

Talk to you
I can't breath around you Because deep breaths fill my lungs with an aroma that overwhelms me And because emotions that awaken because of you have taken a home within my heart and haven't made room for air yet I can't stand around you Because my knees quiver with thoughts of your face My head drifts into your deep ocean eyes And butterflies try to escape threw my thoughts and only come out in stutters I can't think around you Because the stories that are strung between your silk lips dance to the melody of my eardrums leaving me in a confused state of awe And I can't hold your hand Because you fear they'll remove it like were thieves at a market And I can't kiss you Because you fear creeping eyes ready to sink their fangs into the rumors And I can't say I love you Because you fear the whisper running around changing tales into reality within our piers And we can never be together Even though the people who matter Stand ready with their broadswords To fight the devils that follow us home Even if their fire breath rains down like missiles exploding at our feat leaving burns Of the third degree melting away our flesh and exposing our bone At Least they'll see that inside we are the same But that doesn't matter to you And if you never learn to care I can't stand to be with you
