Why is it that I never seem To be able to verbalize The things I feel, the things I see Why must that action tantalize?
I know how I feel, in every specific way I know how I see the world fit together But somehow I'm never able to say How I think or feel to another
It's all so clear inside my brain I know how I see and how I feel But explaining it makes me feel insane Because I don't have the words for my zeal
It's all so precise and obvious to my mind But it's always hell to explain Because I start speaking only to find That my lack of clarity is near to pain
What seems so solid and crystal clear In the space between my ears Falls apart outside my mouth Because my words' ambiguity drives it south
I know exactly how I feel and how I see things, but my explanations always feel inadequate, like they don't clarify the nuances, intensity, paradoxes, or fluctuations well enough, like I'm taking a blurry old flip phone picture of starry night.
