As You All Talk About It

 loose lips as they sink ships 
a rumor thrown as a soft pitch 
warped like glass in a current 
slipped through your hands - weak grip

is this your higher mind, the intellectual rise?
as you all talk about it
is this the cry of the town, decree of the crown? 
as you all talk about it 
is this the proclaimed truth, infallible proof? 
as you all talk about it
or is this a clever ruse, in hopes to amuse?
as you all talk about it

well keep my fucking name out of your mouth.

such a hollow world you call your own 
you try to use these words but you speak out of turn 
you stoke an unlit fire when it's not yours to burn 
raise the flames of dismay when it's not your concern 

loose lips as they sink ships 
a rumor invoked as a last ditch 
warped as you would for profit 
wrought by your hands - flagrant

is this you as you are?
cover the truth, twist out so far? 
as you all talk about it
is this how you want to act? 
run with the pack, stab in the back?
as you all talk about it
is this the person you want to be? 
petty as you flee, small-minded and weak?
as you all talk about it
is this how you want to treat a friend?
then keep up as is, you're alone in the end
as you all talk about it

​and keep my name out of your fucking mouth.

I am done with your incessant chirping 
your words as they fail - useless, fleeting 
a lion unconcerned with the opinions of sheep
lonely and empty, you'll sow but never reap 
and whilst you watch the world crumble at your feet
the fall is accompanied with your echoes and screams

as you all talk about it 
of you all talking about it

keep my name out of your mouth.
