How People Speak

It’s so strange here

I never really noticed

the way we’re speaking

almost seems just like

floating at different heights

I’m probably deeper

further from the surface

bring me up for light

all I need tonight

Come in

I cannot

believe me, really

this is what we want

it’s shifted, competing

with the ones we love

it’s easy, really

to tangle up these thoughts

and make them, something

that we know they’re not

come on now

is it really that beyond us

frustrated hearing

deceptive with a rhyme

just above a lie

but buries deeper

further from the surface

bring them to a light

someone took it

even when I said no

the kids here, playing

know something that I don’t

It’s easy, really

to tangle up these thoughts

and make them, something

that we know they’re not

can you believe me, really

this is what we want

it’s shifted, competing

with the ones we love

come and free me

from this mess of words

It’s easy, really, really? easy?
