I have a few choice words for you
But I never have my way
So they'll remain scratches on my brain
No connection to my muse
To spell out just what to say
But your nature latches on to pain
You are no stranger to prose
But your distress won't disclose
We made our language versatile
You speak in nonsense through a smile
Blackout hush that rang so hollow
The silence is hard to swallow
I've had my mouthful for a while
Hey good luck getting a reply
You are not coming in clear
Urgent earfuls lost in translation
Cuz I've been hung out to dry
So forgive me if I fear
It could only cost affectation
Besides your pride, what could it hurt
But it's exhausting on alert
I'll stay grounded, you stay free
I don't know what's come over me
I'll stay mad while you stay sane
We don't run in the same vein
