Linguistic graveyard
"I didn't die and I ain't complainin'.
I ain't blamin' you. I didn't know that the words you said to me
Meant more to me than they ever could you.
I didn't lie and I ain't sayin' I told the whole truth.
I didn't know that this game we were playin' even had a set of rules."
Does anyone else feel like nobody ever 'gets' them? Even when you do the very best you can to be open and transparent that people still cannot understand the words that are being said. I feel like sometimes I am speaking a different language that everyone around me. I speak, they smile and nod, sometimes they even make a sound like "humm." And then they turn around and say, "What the hell?"
I might never really know what other people are saying to me either. They could be telling me the most important, profound thing they have uttered in their lives and I blow it off like it is no big deal.
Sometimes I want to take a vow of silence and never speak again... or maybe I could just walk around muttering to myself. Most of the time I know what I'm talking about...
"But we were all still just dumb, dumb, dumber
Than the dirt,dirt, dirt on the ground.
Well wings on flames, kings with no names,
Well this place just ain't got right air right now.
You were so all over town but still so Crayola brown.
Well you should run 'round yourself right now.
And we were done, done, done
With all the fuck,fuck, fuckin' around."
