Talking

You talk too much
Do you ever stop?
The words keep flowing out, I want to turn them off
They're drops of water on my forehead.
They collect like glistening beads on my blank paper skin, and the ink starts to bleed...
They're dripping a dent into my confidence
They're dripping a dent into my consciousness
When I leave you my hair smells like smoke
My mouth is full of the words I never spoke
Cause you were talking, saying nothing, cause you just don't care
You were talking, saying nothing, filling up the air
I think too much,
I always will.
I want to know what's on your mind, especially when you're still.
But you will never let me inside.
All your words are cold and they're empty, I don't want to hear them, they'll only upset me.
They're dripping a dent into my confidence
They're dripping a dent into my consciousness
When I leave you my hair smells like smoke
My mouth is full of the words I never spoke
Cause you were talking, saying nothing, cause you just don't care
You were talking, saying nothing, filling up the air

Forgetting

I remember when
I remember when they said that they couldn’t give you cash back on that ice cream
Ice cream hurts my teeth but not nearly as bad as gnashing them to drums
Playing my guitar so loud so I can’t hear my thoughts
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I know
I know you
You know me too
Yeah, you do
Leave it here
Leave it anywhere, just not on the sofa in case it spills
And I don’t want to clean that shit up
And I don’t want to leave this a mess
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I forgot what I’m saying
I apologize
