Blanket [Original]

I give words so much weight I tangle them up with meaning You toss them back and forth We watch as they come apart We eat from the same table But we’ve killed all conversation We let an old line divide Our attention, so we let things slip No wonder we want to bury down It’s like a blanket that will smother Unless you stick your neck out I have a hard time speaking my mind Wa watch as it’s flooding We sit at our screens and feel like we’re doing something I want to carve out space But who knows where we’ll be in 30 years
