Words are fragile, darting, evasive, undercover
Tricky darling rebels turning on their maker
Sorry I said something, I meant something other
You and me in silence, nothing could be sweeter
Sounds distort the safe-shaped space we hold together
Static interference from sender to receiver
Sticks and stones couldn't break us if they tried
But words might soon unmake us from the inside
So let's just take this moment now to look into each other's eyes
Til silence swallows all our hows and whys
Verbs neglect intentions, nouns forget distinctions
Adjectives transposed by emotional inflections
I meant what I said, but not the way you heard it
I was hurt, I didn't quite know how to word it
Sticks and stones couldn't break us if they tried
But words might soon unmake us from the inside
So let's just take this moment now to look into each other's eyes
Til silence swallows all our hows and whys
Quipping, tweeting, words worth eating flung in passing
I don't know why, but I know the space is shifting
Words grip onto feelings trying to salvage meaning
Scratching to hold onto memory, losing footing
Sticks and stones couldn't break us, no
But words might soon unmake us, oh
So let's just take this moment now to hear what's underneath
The traffic of our efforts, drowning us in our beliefs
Smiling babies, we knew only light and feeling
Symbols crowding, gaining culture, losing meaning
Leaping to conclusions, we forgot the body
Sticks and stones overtake us all someday
But words are just a game we choose to play
So let's just take this moment now to be
As me dissolves into you dissolves into
Me dissolves into you dissolves into
Me dissolves into you dissolves into
Me dissolves into you dissolves into
Me dissolves into you dissolves into peace
