Song that No One Wants to Hear

One, two, three, four

Well I travel with a song that no one wants to hear
I keep it in my heart while my body disappears
And the people shuffle by
Big penguins in a pen
Squeaking in a language I can't comprehend

Well I travel with a song that no one wants to bear
I keep it in my heart while my limbs start to tear
And the ice is melting, I am sinking
Water's wading, deep and freezing
I can't swim

Well I travel with a song that no one wants to know
I keep it in my heart while my mind starts to go
And the air is awful bright
It gets too warm at night
A relief to feel the heat but it melts the ice

That holds me in between a lonely life
And bitter death above the sea
In slavery or underneath
I'm dead but free
I'm dead but free

I keep writing metaphors and pretty words
Cause I can't speak
Or think c-clearly, and I'm scared to admit
Something's wrong with me

Well look me in the eyes and never look away
I'll memorize your colors and forget your pretty face
With your eyes I'll paint the leaves
Your skin, the chunks of meat
That the lion chews and tears away

Well look me in the eyes and never look away
I'll memorize your colors and forget what you say
Drawing zebras with your teeth
They gallop frantically
Their manes glowing, bursting, glistening, oh

They're trying to survive these brutal times
What is the value of your life?
Now open wide and take a bite
It's much darker, nicer inside

I keep writing metaphors and pretty words
Cause I can't speak
Or think c-clearly, and I'm scared to admit
Something's wrong with me

I keep packing in my verse with stiff cliches
So I sound smart
Or feel well-hidden in a veil of bullshit
Caked around my heart

I keep writing metaphors and pretty words
Cause I can't speak
Or think c-clearly, and I'm scared to admit
Something's wrong with me

I keep packing in my verse with stiff cliches
So I sound smart
Or feel well-hidden in a veil of bullshit
Caked around my heart
