We couldn't hear a thing you said
Like the words fell out your mouth and fled
Ok we heard but no comprehension
Lead us to our full attention
Meaning darts across the room
The dimmest paint, the palest hues
Words alive, they juxtaposed
Your thoughts so fast, the world so slow
You filled the room with bogus stories
Streaming Christ-like allegories
Speaking loud, gesticulating
Wild thoughts match wild waving
Breathing deep your speech and whimsy
Mama cried, but Dad was with me
Watching your eyes wax and wane
Solemnity to joy, but no pain
But no pain
But no pain
But no pain
Scarfing down your quarter pounders
Ignoring the whole world around you
Licking to your fingertips
You didn't miss a single drip
Looked upon you like you're feral
Against the center oh so sterile
Looked upon as if bereft
But I know you, you hadn't left
But maybe I'm opportunistic
Painting you as bum and mystic
But what a complicated sight
Both caged in and in delight
But screaming that you were alright
You shouldn't stay another night
I watched your eyes, they waxed and waned
All else was right, but they were stained
They were stained
They were stained
They were stained
They were stained
Words unfurled, waving your hands
You knew the world would understand
But seasons passed, we left the fall
Are you glad you came back at all?
