Don't Talk at Me: Poem/Lyrics

You keep telling me the stories

that I don't want to hear

You keep looking in my eyes

but there is nothing for me

coming near

I keep listening for the words

to speak to me

not about your small time

weaknesses

You might as well scream

because that's all that will awaken me

Instead you laugh

and I don't know what you mean

Well you can't touch me

because it's too late

You can scratch all you want

but my scalp's gone numb

Don't tell me I'm wrong

because you're just an ant

trailing to the tunnels

Well I won't listen to you

because you're the goddamn fool

And you can laugh all you like

but your mind's a tool

Fly all you can, man

but you'll only sink

so far into the dirt

you won't be able to think

'cause all you'll see is black

If you want to talk

go take the walk

Because I'm done

It's cold in here
