lyrics

take a whole step
fight the urge to take two back
butterflies may swarm
ace an aerial attack

but don’t you mind their buffeting
both your eyes are already black
and they can’t take what you lack

i'm saving pennies burning bills
and i seem to be making sense
i’m bursting at the seams
but that doesn’t pay the rent

count my blessings and my scars
they look more the same each day
count the folks who die in cars

living in a rain delay
in a rain delay
still you say

rhymes, riddles, and parables
pour from your mouth
but they all just sound so foreign
like you’re forcing fables out
and i wonder what you would sound like
if you spoke without your doubt
if you opened up your heart
and you made a sound

make a sound

rhymes, riddles, and parables
pour from your mouth
but they all just sound so foreign
like you’re forcing fables out
and i wonder what you would sound like
if you spoke without your doubt
if you opened up your heart
and you made a sound
c'mon and make a sound

(yeah)

it’s the chirp of birds in chorus
fuck our phones answering for us
let the trees talk in the forest
just listen and don’t force it
cause then you’ll forfeit
your chance
to be heard
