What Is Said

[Verse 1] Be it broken down or beaten up is what you'll have to offer And not a moment short of time is like a medicine They say it heals all wounds are deep and painful, I don't buy it But I would sell it to you for a decent price Never would I fall too short of expectations not expected And never should you take to heart whatever I just said A little birdie told me something Really, birds don't talk, but his chirp was nice I think I gathered what he meant [Chorus] What's said is not always what is meant Breathing this fire, leaves me with no desire to be read [Verse 2] Reading books, I've found my eyes, they like to wander off the pages To play with many things impertinent to my mind Sometimes I like to sleep, it's cool, but it is overrated I'd rather just be singing nonsense through the night [Chorus] [Verse 3] Eighteen years behind me, many more to come, I am excited I hope I didn't jinx myself, please knock on wood for me Or write a letter to a friend, tell them it's time to listen To what I'm saying, but it's not said, don't let it get into your head [Bridge] Just when you thought that you were sane Like clever convicts, they came running, escaping from your brain These words, they trickled out these fickle conversations so concerned With rationale, I don't know how, but I think I am done for now [Chorus]
