What Is Said

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
 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
 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
