/Why do I speak in colors?

My tongue in tones of red,

A crimson splash inside my glass,

Maroon inside my head./

/Why do I see in sound waves?

Her face is squeaky shrill,

The flowers whisper soft melodies,

The bass a bitter pill./

/Why do I hear in flavors?

Her shout's a sour taste,

A sweetening music booms our tunes,

His honey voice is laced./

/There's only one explanation

For the mess behind my eyes,

An overload inside my brain

My senses gone awry./

/I look to you for answers,

My nerves are shot and fried,

Can't you see now why I covered up,

When you tried to peek inside?/
