People Talk

I'm afraid of men with clocks for eyes

with suits for skin

I'm afraid we've swallowed all our medicine

I'm afraid of God and all his angry clouds

I'm afraid the world will die without a sound

I was just trying to say something beautiful

something meaningful

but you can't live in the world just breathing

beautiful

no, you can't live in the world just being

meaningful

people talk so loud

people talk so loud

people talk so loud

they talk until no words come out they talk

until their brains fall out
