you can preach to the choir but I never feel a a note coming from your own throat. trying teaching with your stomach instead of your hands be a little less removed, a little less "improved" - it's not a bridge until you build it either start laying bricks or light the match. if i catch you saying sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me one more time, i might just punch you in the gut. that's where my words come from that's where i feel every phrase that's real come reeling through and keeling over i'll share these words with you. just cause they ain't polished don't make them less true. stop preaching start listening then maybe I can, too.
