Sick Talk
WYE OAK · Shriek 2014 · Track 05 of 07
Spit it out I can see if you can say You explain Still your meaning floats away Quiet fails It is present in its space Do you doubt Other voices in your place
Is this sick talk Building on your tongue until it spills off Anyone who speaks can say the same truth Even if the words that they have spared you Scared you
Is this sick talk Hovering around me, taking quick stock Anyone who sees afraid to talk back Anyway the answers are of no use We are lost
Fits and starts What's the use in watching me Take apart One more endless happening See me now Terror at the ones and twos Look again Shameless you are mine to lose
Is this sick talk Building on your tongue until it spills off Anyone who speaks can say the same truth Even if the words that they have spared you Scared you
Is this sick talk Hovering around me taking quick stock Anyone who sees afraid to talk back Anyway the answers are of no use We are lost
