Talk to me
I don't want to hear poetry
Say it plain
Like how you really speak
The universe
For what it's worth
Everything is listening
For what it means
Spit it out
Every doubt
Poison flower
We can all agree
The universe
For better or worse
It's the only place
To be
I'm serious
I don't really care, I'm serious
I don't really care about a
About a single thing
Everything is listening
For what it means
Everything is listening
For what it means
So talk to me
I don't want to hear poetry
Just say it plain
Like how you really speak
The universe
Could be worse
It's the only place
There is to be
