Parallel Lines

If you found the words, would you really say them? Or silent through the verse Will mumble punctuation? Remembering the line, an empty metaphor That you savor by yourself Your never cure If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it? Or do you need a moment to re-memorize And model it like a curse half disguised? Leers, cheers, whispers and tears The final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so Give me a little room To get on with concentration Just enough to know What I'm missing in education Borrowing all the hours that you gave to me to It's a wonder I could ever breathe Under all our thoughts We'll hear the final answer Of all the things you are that have been paralleled All the voices that were raised and finally fell Leers, cheers, whispers and tears The final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so Lights No show No s*x That's all you get No wait No calls No remittance for what you know Leers, cheers, whispers and tears The final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so
