Talk to me
I don't want to hear poetry
Say it plain
Like how you really speak

The universe
For what it's worth
Everything is listening
For what it means

Spit it out, every doubt
Poison flower
We can all agree

The universe
For better or worse
It's the only place
To be

I'm serious
I don't really care, I'm serious
I don't really care about it
About a single thing

But everything is listening
For what it means
Everything is listening
For what it means

So talk to me
I don't want to hear poetry
Just say it plain
Like how you really speak

The universe
Could be worse
It's the only place
There is to be
