Stifled whispers
kindled in the dark
Exasperation,
when I open up my heart.
My implication
Only said to the extent
I bite my nails and pull my hair,
evade my discontent.

In my head it makes sense,
like a perfect cadence.
Not vindicated,
Try to say what I meant,
and I'll

Find my freedom in the music
with a minor key
Cause all these bottled feelings always
get the worst of me
I'll release all of this tension
with any lyrics that i please
i'll find my freedom in the music, the music.

My guitar has been the constant
companion when I'm weak
When I feel like I wanna scream out,
or vent and scream and preach
It all comes out a jumble
profanities obscene
Relief that grazes your ear drums
Justifies my means

I'm feeling all these fears,
while containing all my tears,
If I could roll it into a ball
and make you eat it all
It'd save me this explaining
How the hell am I feeling?
A simple scoff; Earphones on, world off

Sing, play, strum, delay,
slide, vibrato, rest, crescendo.

Mezzo forte, piano, dolce
Fill, falsetto, drop, staccato,

Bend, glissando, hammer on, adagio
Bass, soprano, tenor, alto
