Aphasia

so satisfied i said a lot of things tonight so long aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding it’s not so much exactly all the words i used it’s more that i was somehow down to let them loose

so complicated i can’t wait to get explaining your listening distended out since i’ve been crying so long aphasia and the ways it kept me hidden so long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion

you came and sent me out unfurling in the street and i felt unprecedented confidence in speaking

stick around i’m thinking things’ll be alright newly delivered won’t you live with me tonight

something tonight was such a letdown on my pride it takes a part of me i don’t got to take some things in stride i’d pace around the place so quiet in myself i’d wake the next and see my silence went unfelt

just when i thought i had this pattern sorted out apparently my ventricles are full of doubt now nah things go wrong sometimes don’t let it freak you out but if i don’t have you by me then i’ll go underground! nah but what you’ve got was in your reaches all along plus one day you’ll be reaching for me and i’ll be gone to help remind myself I wrote this little song
