Every word in the world
Has been said before
No one can be original.
Try to surprise me,
I've heard it all before.
Everyone has, it's no secret.
I wonder if I could say something
That would make them listen to me.
The storm in this house
never shows it's rainbow.
The thunder is impossible to hide from.
I try and stay in my room
to escape the lightning.
But eventually it finds me anyway.
The stories that hide under covers
Folded into minds of those who toss and turn.
haven't truly been caught
they slip and slide when you try to write them down.
If only there was something
to help me put into words
but the words have all been used.
The sentences I speak are borrowed.
These thoughts I have are worn.
There is nothing in the world,
to describe this thought I hold.
We say it is impossible
to understand somebody's mind.
But we say we get it.
We don't want to hear the other.
Because we've heard it all before.
