The Less I Hear, the Less You Say

You talk I don't listen You wanna walk You have my permission You don't own me You don't make my rules I am free Not one of your fools I don't hear the words Coming out of your mouth You speak in herds And you're heading south When you speak My ears go numb I don't hear a squeak Not even an um I wish you would disappear Just leave today Because in the end The less I hear The less you say Written in July 2012
