Your silence slices me open
I roll the dice
I want to see tears in your eyes
Instead you just stay quiet
I just wanna reach those
Who have spent their entire life
feeling like they are nobody to anybody
Did you feel the edge of a knife
Pressed to your skin
while your friends
search for their excuses
in their expensive purses
They curve you
Like a teacher who just got laid
Curves your grade
Yeah, I have a lot more words to say
& they say they are pressed for time
Well Iā€™m telling you,
tongues are heavy
because I've held mine
long enough
For the time being
I know Iā€™m not enough
So for now, I'm going to stuff it
and just shut up
This is for you. You know who you are. The one who feels the same pain I do everyday.
