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

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

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
