Nonsense Talker
I ramble on
Like no one is watching.
You don't interupt me,
And I wish you would.
Tell me I'm crazy
That I make no sense, right?
You can't stand my talking
About the things that make
No sense at all
Say that I'm nonsense.
That you're not on the fence
Of leaving me.
I know I talk like
A broken record.
Tell me that I have no standards
Cause you know I don't.
I'm just a nonsense talker,
A failing daughter,
Of spoken words.
I don't get why
You haven't run away yet.
Did you place a bet
With Father Time?
I'm surprised that
You have no words yet.
To stop this nonsense
Of mine.
I carry on
With insane words
That seem not to phase or blur.
I mention a secret,
Hope that you'll keep it.
Or is it a lie?
Tell me I'm reckless,
That I can't control my mouth, right?
Why don't you stop me?
Or is it so easy
To bear the truth at all?
Say that I'm nonsense,
That you can't take a glance
Of what I am at all.
Do I remind you
Of what intensity can do?
Why don't you just yell
And say that I'm "hell?"
Cause I know I am.
I'm just a nonsense talker,
Why am I not six feet under
For the things I've said?
It's the only way
I can feel human.
All I can say is,
It's all I've ever been.
Will you hear what I have to say?
Nonsense
I hope this won't make you run away.
Nonsense
And I don't have a script to convey...
Nonsense
But...what am I to you?
Do I leave you breathless?
Am I such a mess
That it makes you blind?
I feel like you don't understand this heart of mine.
You know that I'm a nonsense talker,
It's not a shocker.
Yet here we are.
Why don't you say I'm a lost cause?
Though you say I never was?
Well what am I?
You say "All that a human could be.
So why can't you see?
You're the only one
With the right state of mind."
