Onomatopoeia

[Verse 1]

You were lying on my lap as you stared in the sky
Peeling back the clouds one hair at a time
I’m paralyzed by our parallel lives
As the son caramelized your caramel eyes
When I met you - I was a frozen Robocop whose motor stopped
A broken aux chord connected to my vocal box
These memories were sold in bulk to my lonely thoughts
Without a border crop or photoshop like oh mah gawd
But soon I swallow that shh shh with some wild times
Skeletons walk out the closet; single file line
Then introduced themselves to you with a handshake
Then dove slow in your torso like a grand lake

[Hook]

Hi bye, drip-drop, boohoo
It’s onomatopoeia whenever I’m with you
Haha, oh-no, woohoo
It’s onomatopoeia whenever I’m with you

[Verse 2]

No need to google translate the language of a love letter
But my apologies are always in tongue twister
Never out right down to be down and out
Arguments start to spin like a roundabout
But underneath what I speak is tongue in cheek
So when I said sorry only vowels came out
So I censor myself — keep the sparks sealed closed
Cuz the tongue heals fast but the heart heals slow
These words trailing off like long long ago
Waiting on me to finish like three dots in a row
Can’t plagiarize patient eyes lost in a room
Where you think you’re a failure - I urge you not to assume
See you asked for advice and I gave you a grain but they stayed in your veins now there’s salt in your wounds
Sometimes there’s territory I leave alone
Again I’m muted like commercials in a vegan home
Again I’m muted like the colors in a Friscan sky
Suppress the mind’s paragraphs into a distant sigh

[Hook]
