People say I have no filter from my brain to my mouth but that's not true at all

I say lots of words but think so many more

Help
Run
Lie
Pain
Save me
Not sorry
Why?

But my filter keeps them out

Without those words in my sentences my voice sounds so happy

Instead you hear

Live
Love
Life
Sorry
Amazing
Wonderful
Fun

No questions I'm not supposed to ask

But what you didn't notice

Is my filter is duck tape

So thick nothing gets through

So sticky all my words get caught

That's right I'm silent

Not saying a word

You imagine words I speak to you
