[00:27.67]I would rather suffer sweet
[00:31.28]silent solitude
[00:33.62]Deathly defiant from drowning out
[00:38.95]Filthy sounds stumbling,
[00:41.28]ugly and cruel
[00:44.31]Between the lips of your
[00:47.12]beautiful mouth
[00:50.29]Deep down within me words
[00:53.25]move in phases
[00:55.52]Frozen and still
[00:58.68]until they decide
[01:01.40]To melt and drip over
[01:04.24]the pages
[01:07.13]Until that moment
[01:09.62]they live inside.
[01:12.50]My words enjoy the
[01:14.98]feel of the paper
[01:18.28]Better than me,
[01:19.89]lay with your consonants
[01:23.64]Once they get going
[01:26.12]they never waver
[01:29.55]And they slip in between your if,
[01:32.99]ands, and buts.
[01:55.03]When my words are
[01:57.99]hiding between the lines
[02:02.42]Then i''''m afraid they
[02:05.44]won''''t hear me call
[02:08.03]What if they fail me
[02:10.13]without a sign?
[02:13.64]What if they hardly
[02:16.39]surface at all?
[02:19.08]Screaming and throwing
[02:21.20]your weight around
[02:24.58]My words choose
[02:25.74]knowledge over politics
[02:30.23]You can''''t kill my words .
[02:32.45]they know no bounds
[02:35.46]My words are strong and
[02:37.42]they don''''t make me sick.
[02:41.31]They still remain my
[02:44.73]only companion
[02:46.64]Boiling truth to the
[02:49.27]very end
[02:52.23]They''''ll never ever
[02:54.34]completely abandon
[02:57.73]Ever give up the paper
[02:59.95]and the pen
