Silence Is Your Perfect Home

I talk and talk all in vain,                                                                                             
let me tell you that is a pain.

Do you hear me yes or no,                                                                                           
I am about ready to blow.

I feel you cannot hear me,                                                                                           
so I just want to flee.

The doctor says you can hear,                                                                                 
maybe you need a beer.

The doctor says you just don't listen,                                                                               
you need to pay attention.                                                                                     

Tuning people out,                                                                                                   
can make them pout.

In your world all alone,                                                                                                 
is your perfect home.
