Story Behind The Song

a songwriting challenge to use a list of crazy words... and a stupid rambling rant with no reply.

Lyrics

once again we exacerbate cause we can't resist this energy
listen to me, we're a syzygy
you grip too tight to the steering wheel
but you can't control the way you feel
electricity
in a tidal sea

i'm getting flustered now
filibustering for a final vow

we're trading soliloquies and i don't think we're listening
words bubble out of me,
an unsteady stream, rambling
hit you with heavy speech, an abstract, reoccurring dream
listen to me, and our history

our reasoning is elemental
my tongue like white hot metal
when i speak up, you seal it up

once again i prevaricate,
you know me, it's my favorite game
i have to solve
this quandary

all of this, i have said, with a tongue and heart of lead
reaching for the door
this is my closing argument
i don't know where our time went
i need you to hear, so stay here

i said it all in soliloquy and i don't think you're hearing me
words bubble out of me, an unsteady stream rambling
hit you with heavy speech, an abstract reoccurring dream
listen to me...

now i've said what i need to say,
reaching for the door
yeah i've said far too many things...
but your silence says more.
