lyrics

Now, how do I get your attention
when I know you’ve heard it all before?
How to best convey my intentions
and not come off as a bore
and do something like…

Or sacrifice meaning to force a rhyme from dreams and schemes again
You can only be so tough, but you can be so tough to reach!

So I’ll try not to follow when convention leads me
but I’ve already made some grave mistakes
T-i-o-n is a bit too easy
let me try harder to find what it takes
maybe something like…

Or test your patience by squeezing a rhyme out of trouble and bubble again
You can only go so far
But you’ve gone so far without stopping to listen!

Will it work, if I make one more try, will you hear
If I tell you about my fears and my things
that come out of my eyes when I cry?

Silence is golden, and sound is one greedy bastard
