Sick of Words

I'm sick of words

What do they say?

So much effort, making meaning

Forcing life into frames

I'm sick of words

In a fundamental way

No more rhetorical, unwinnable

Depressing debate

God or no god, Love or no love

Sex or no sex, Drugs or no drugs

Are you closer?

What's it all been worth?

I'm blessed with a curse

Or that's what I say

No one asked, but I've been offering

For years anyway

Navel-gazing like it matters

It's just a body; it's not an answer

Are you listening?

What it's all been worth?

I'm sick of words

If you're lonely, get a hobby

Find a buddy at work

Stop subjecting all these people

To what you think you deserve

It isn't noble, it isn't funny

And it could always be worse

Get a grip, man

What's it all been worth?

I'm sick of words

God or no god (Navel-gazing)

Love or no love (Like it matters)

Sex or no sex (It's just a body)

Drugs or no drugs (It's not an answer)

Are you closer? (Are you listening?)

What's it all been worth?

I'm sick of words
