Sign Language
Once
You lost your thread
You raise your voice
"It's all white noise"
You say again

And you
Were in too deep
It's so hard to tell
With how new you made
Everything seem

"You can run" you say
"But you can't think
You might as well
Be speaking to me
In sign language"

And now
I know what you mean
But at the time
I laughed it off
And grabbed us drinks
Somehow
You were more afraid
Of your life
Than you ever were
Of your deathbed

Once
You lost yourself
You raise your voice
"It's all white noise"
You say again

"You can run"
I can still hear you say
"I can dream
But look where
That got me"
