Let’s just talk…
And put to bed all the screamingTo each other we would neverBut to the hate we stay intimately connectedTo the outside eyes it’s seemingAnd to the taste of our unsweetened homeIt pours like black coffeeWith spoonfuls of our sugarless droneIt’s become our latest meaningIf we could just talk…Without the seasoning of disdainGod sees allHe hears the listening we don’t allowThe way we’ve slowed to a crawlThe kind words we no longer entertainYou screamI screamWe bristle at the mention of each other’s name When we’ve not the energy to breatheNo longer do we even know howThis was not His idea of cleaveLoyal to not a single vowI wish we could just talk…Having traveled that barren roadExploring every alternate routeNavigating without directionIt’s just so much easierTo find a reason to walk outIf only we could talk…When nothing else worksWhen we no longer feelWhen even the numbness still hurtsStill Maybe we can just talkPeacefully and unrehearsedCivilized without the scripted liesFor the few times it seems a little betterWhen we can no longer endure the worstI just want to talk…It’s youIt’s meIt’s not you it’s meIt’s us who should plainly see the roots of this lifeless treeBut before we cut this cord and run freeBefore this becomes what it finally will beJust one last timeMaybe we should just see…If we Can just find it in our heartsTo go back to the startAnd just talk
