Tip of My Tongue

Tip of my tongue

tried to speak

Heard the words but they were out of reach

Felt the pain

a bleeding heart can't reconcile my shame

Saw the signs

Brandished placards hoist before my eyes

Failed to act

A silent witness to its sad collapse

I heard the news today

Got me all in a tizz

It's on the tip of my tongue

But I don't know what it is

Breach the gates,

Smash the system that it violates

Fabricate

Let them know exactly who to hate

I heard the news today

Got me all in a tizz

It's on the tip of my tongue

But I don't know what it is

Creatures come and creatures go

Like answers lost in a quiz

It's on the tip of my tongue

But I don't know what it is

I heard the news today

Got me all in a tizz

It's on the tip of my tongue

But I don't know what it is

Creatures come and creatures go

Like answers lost in a quiz

It's on the tip of my tongue

But I don't know what it is
