I Want To Listen

I rest my case in a bed unmade

The headboard strained

Under the weight of my memory of the day

So crammed

Getting low on RAM

Getting high on strife

The stock is overflowing, do you wish that you could throw it in?

Why do you like to be mine?

'Cause I'm late again

To realising

The spiral turns

So steadily down, there's no getting out

Unless you quit

Zoom out a bit

Uncross your eyes

It ruins the illusion, but it's well worth the losing

Why do you like to still try?

My love, my dear

It's been quite a year

It's been quiet and loud

Laughter and tears, courage and fear

But I can't allow

This furrowed brow

And these borrowed blues

To keep washing out the delicate sounds of you

So if you wanna whisper, I swear I wanna listen
