[Instrumental]
(Verse 1)
"Every word I utter feels like a distant song,
Echoing in silence, where I don’t belong.
Thoughts entwined in tangled threads, I reach out for a hand,
Yet meaning slips away, like yarn that’s come un-spooled."
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m painting pictures in a distant realm,
Yet the images fade; I can’t reach through to you.
I’m shouting from the rooftops, but it’s all in vain,
Attempting to bridge the gap, only finding more pain.
(Chorus)
When I speak, it feels like I’m using a foreign tongue;
You hear the sounds, but my meaning slips away.
I’m caught in translation, striving to be understood,
To share the essence of my thoughts, to show you my view.
Words become tangled, meanings clash and collide,
It drives me to frustration, feeling adrift in space.
(Verse 2)
It’s not easy for me to open up and share myself with you;
I need you to understand me, not leave me adrift in space.
Frustration lingers in the silence, heavy as the air—
I’m reaching for connection, longing for your awareness. 
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m shaping my meaning with sentences that crumble away,
Striving not to feel alone and ineffective in what I wish to express.
I don’t want to feel anger or frustration when you don’t comprehend,
Leaving me with the challenge of how to simplify.
Chorus
When I speak, it feels as if I'm using another language.
You hear me, but you don’t grasp my anguish when you don’t understand my words.
I’m lost in translation, striving to make you see,
The essence of my explanation is adrift in the void.
Words become twisted, meanings collide,
In my world of confusion, I’m like a tangled skein of yarn.
(Bridge)
If I could find the words and paint them for you in images, would you then begin to see? In my world of confusion, I’m like a tangled skein of yarn.
