Somewhere I lost myself in your words
Words so gentle and soothing, they made me live
Somehow I believed all that you said
Maybe I wanted to, those words I longed to hear
Somewhere those words lost their meaning
Often repeated, the charm faded away
Somehow those words became irritating
The magic wasn’t just there anymore
Somewhere I started detesting the emptiness
Those words drummed incessantly into my ears
I didn’t want to hear them again
Somehow words had become so intrusive
Somehow I longed to shut out words
And be still and calm away from them all
Yet when I closed my ears, the din grew louder
I tried to shut my thoughts out, yet those words resounded
Somewhere I hear myself screaming
I don’t want to hear those words anymore
Devoid of meaning and without a trace of feeling
Those words are dead, a forlorn carcass awaiting vultures
Somewhere I long to escape from the menace
Of meaningless words that spew out from lying tongues
Somewhere I hope to find words that come straight from the heart
Somewhere I wish I find words in its truth
And there I know I will find love
