The payoffs are few
And the trade-offs plenty
When I look at my history
My astigmatic discernment
Has forced certainty to retreat
Away from me
Are you listening
Or are you just waiting your turn to speak
A showcase is no place for wit or will
Respond in the moment
Don't just go in knowing your words
We tend to have mental crates
Filled with prefabricated exchanges
Harbor my fears
Don't let my fate disengage
Harbor my fears
Don't let my fate disengage
Disengage
Disengage
Disengage
Disengage
The payoffs are few
And the trade-offs plenty
When I look at my history
My astigmatic discernment
Has forced certainty to retreat
Away from me
