The secret language we speak You make me go weak And I can read your mind You have always been left behind And your pouring like water over me Somehow it feels like being set free As I watch your gaze flash Like I’ve got cash And I’m kind of bewildered but it’s nice Did you not see me look twice As you gaze towards the front of the bus And I don’t know why I trust You with my life I see us being man and wife I guess that’s the difference between the genders And the difference between what one remembers I saw you throw me against the screen That day we met in the dream Just down by Supermac’s And there is nothing either of us lacks I felt my heart pound I could’ve sworn you would hear the sound As it thudded against the inside of my chest And I against the one who loved me best In secret we walk Til I found out you talk With another lady, another girl So I snap the locket shut on that world And you gasp from the break I only did it for your sake For how can you split yourself in two And love women more than yourself in blue And my red burns like fire And I tire Of your profanity I want someone who will be real with me And express how he feels Not undress like he steals The moment from another tree I am no apple thief and if you’re talking to me You must take the bite yourself Because I am no wealth To be plundered, lost If I mean you then there is no cost To what you mean to do And you must’ve known I meant you When I looked your way You don’t have anything to say You just stutter the silence And a form of violence Takes you over And I didn’t know her All that well I could just see the hell You left behind When you left her out of her mind With worry and fear And a tear May have escaped her eye But still she did not die And was a shade of cool That I admired in school With her A1 in English The only one who challenged me with relish In her green and blue (I think she may have gotten that from you) And she would always say hi to me Unlike some people I’ve since set free So, babe, what do you say How about we do not let truth get in the way I raise my brows And he allows That infraction Like I accept his inaction And we burst into laughing shapes I don’t know how it escapes My solid steel But our love is real If only in the fifth dimension For you are an extension Of all I want to be And, honey, I’ve been set free And want to dynamite that fuse If you give me power to choose That path for you And, fuck it, ask her too I’m not being miserly But when it is just you and me We can be the business type And set the world right Again If you will reveal the pen You gave me to write And it has brought me to a height That I cannot accurately encompass in words Just, it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard As you hold me with your eyes And in all of our tries We have found Stillness in the lack of sound!
