I've listened to this song hundreds of times
the notes and voices piercing my ear drums
dancing down the sides of my face
flirting with unspoken words waiting to break free

but I sit in silence
diving in to the familiar notes
streaming the voice not afraid to be spoke
and I can't help but wonder
what danced upon the folds
of your brain
to bring forth beautiful worth
that I feel is spoke so directly to me
like holding my hand through this unconsolable labyrinth.

words that bring tears
to the eyes of those trying to hide
from what they feel inside
but these lyrics are going to strangle those
from your unbroken chest
and leave you broke
gasping in awe
wondering how it all came out

but until then
I sit in silence
cautiously staring about a world too big
jumping from anger to fear to sorrow
quicker than a blink
pushing my limbs to anxiety
against their will
fighting with the molecules of my own skin
with the ridges of my teeth
I can't handle it
cynicism setting in
seizing my limbs
but im sitting here with a silly grin
