I prefer subtle chords over the vulgarity of words.
Orchestral lullabies are where I feel comfortable,
Hidden melancholy inside each parcel,
All whispering a melodious tune.
Instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve,
I wear it as a necklace under lock and key,
Where every sentiment stated is a pearl,
And I wouldn't have enough for a string.
I've been on vocal rest for far too long,
My gears are beginning to rust,
And I lack the skills needed to oil these springs.
Let me practice my lyrics in silence
And trust that my aria is never sung.
