The Troubled Deaf:

Hard to say why I feel this way
But it’s so simple
And I could never ever resonate
A song that would define you

Is it cliché
To talk to myself
About this consistency
Of doubt

With this clout
I sever the knuckles
Only to breathe again
And to focus out
On what’s real

I can’t tell how I made it this far
Into this dream of fantasy
Between everything I once loved
And now I am falling
In these notes
And in these fears
I’m so helpless
To myself

Through slow breath
I resurrect a title I sold away
For the sake of sanity
The name is Mary

And now I can’t tell you how
I came to be this foul
And I don’t feel
Any need to forgive you.
