Fly Wide Open

Oh, I tried to tell you,

but you wouldn’t listen.

It was like into the wind

my words I was pissin’;

wetting blades of grass

‘n makin’ them glisten;

except for a scant few

somehow I was missin.’

I’m shamelessly sprayin’

out words from my heart,

which your indifference

chillingly tears apart.

Sprayin’ out any more

just wouldn’t be smart.

So I’ll shake it off now,

zip it, ‘n simply depart.
