Aphasia

So satisfied I said a lot of things tonight

So long Aphasia and the ways it kept me hiding

It's not so much exactly all the words I used

It's more that I was somehow down let them loose

So complicated

I can't wait to get explaining

Your listening distended out since I've been crying

So long Aphasia and the ways it kept me hidden

So long to silent nerves and hesitant oblivion

You came and sent me out unfurling in the street

I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking

Stick around I'm thinking things'll be alright

Newly delivered, won't you live with me tonight?

Something tonight was such a let down on my pride

It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride

I'd pace around the place so quiet in myself

I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt

Just when I thought I had this pattern sorted out

Apparently my ventricles are full of doubt, now

Nah things go wrong sometimes

Don't let it freak you out

But if I don’t have you by me then I’ll go underground

Nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along

Plus one day you’ll be reaching for me and I’ll be gone

So to help remind myself

I wrote this little song

One day I won’t need your love

One day I won't define myself by the one I’m thinking of

And if one day I don't need it

One day you won't need it
