all of time frozen into place reverts
into what we think of as one plain meme
the one who thinks that silence presses blurts
no one from fate their face ever averts
the word once given is what we would deem
all of time frozen into place reverts
truth once plain spoken in its course diverts
the greatest rivers into one large stream
the one who thinks that silence presses blurts
pain honestly received still fucking hurts
the coldest blood will soon turn into steam
all of time frozen into place reverts
you think it does not matter when she flirts
you'll soon find out that skim milk is not cream
the one who thinks that silence presses hurts
tell one thin lie and you will see the shirts
you thought to wear turn out to lose their gleam
all of time frozen into place reverts
the one who thinks that silence presses blurts
(C)2008, Fragano Ledgister
