Understated Speech
I look between these open eyes
And try to find the time to recognize
The words unspoken, thoughts provoked
In defense of my fragile open mind
So I caught the words I thought I'd heard to be accaeptable
Reeled 'em in, changed 'em up real good
Just to form the syllables
Too slowly
Shake this folly off
Take this sorry offering
Of antiquated phrases
And I'll feel better when the brazen words of understated speech
Cease
And these brows are furrowed fists are clenched
And eyes wide open in awkward suspense
So I blink three times
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Breathe the lines
I recited to myself, memorized
But I caught the words
I thought I'd heard to be acceptable
Reeled 'em in, changed 'em up real good
Just to form the syllables
Too slowly
Shake this folly off
Take this sorry offering
Of antiquated phrases
But I'll feel better when the brazen
Words of understated speech
Cease
