Taken in by conversation of strangers who say what they mean
but I can't do the same.
I'm in my head, I'm so busy
defining who I am by the sounds I take in.
She drops her dress as if we're alone,
but someone's playing my game
it can't work this way.
I'm distracted by the voices I can't make sense of.
I keep mine down.
Hearing words in different way,
but I'm unsettled by the words that are never said.
I gave a little of myself and the bastards heard.
They're proud of their device.
But talent needs no toys.
I've never played silly games.
I can't find the meaning soon enough.
So then who am I
Oh God
the blood's spilled over.
The hand that held the needle becomes the rat in his own maze.
What have I created, I'm where they want me.
The phone's unplugged
my voice is only heard through brass.
But this is home.
