about

Sympathetic Reggae for the socially inhibited

lyrics

Tell me why it keeps going wrong
Have I been cursed with a poison tongue
I can't speak to you like I want to
Because every time I show I'm a fool to you

There's something odd about a silent conversation
It can be read so many ways
I could convince you all that I
Could not uphold said to your

Don't hear me
Just read my words
I'm not who
I hoped you heard
Don't hear me
Just read my words
I'm not who

At times I feel like some random punctuations
Made to hide that I was swearing
So instead I look like I just
Had a mother of an aneurism

I can't connect while I'm still talking
Is it best if I stick to text
Or should we skip to the ultimatum
And have the both of us see what's next

Don't hear me
Just read my words
I'm not who
I hoped you heard
Don't hear me
Just read my words
I'm not who

Tell me why it keeps going wrong
Are my hands a mouth or my mouth a gun
Do your eyes see the friend I want to be
And your ears balk at that who is really me
