Insipid Lifestyle

Insipid lifestyle – 
The side effects are horrid
Silence speaks! Shut it!

What you say is dull – 
Apologies accepted
With one condition…

If you’d just listen – 
Life in my shoes is so tough
Oh please, understand

Shut it, solitude…
Let my voice be heard right now
It’s been a while…

Since you’d fin’lly see
That my side of the story
Is important, right?

Morbid thoughts these days…
Have been running wild in my – 
In my eager mind

Your vile tone of voice 
Makes me turn the other cheek
Come on now – rejoice!
