The Unfinished Sentence

[Verse 1] The list is too long The mouth is too slow I am trying to compress a decade into a minute Zip file of emotion Corrupted data I start a sentence and the sun goes down I start another and the year ends [Chorus] Panic in the throat Not enough breath To say the important things Just the stupid things Did I turn off the stove? Did I pay the bill? While I meant to say You are the blood in my veins [Verse 2] Skip the intro Skip the context Direct to the point but the point is moving I need a direct line to your brain Bypass the air Bypass the sound Because the clock is eating the syllables Faster than I can spit them out [Bridge] Wait Listen Stop I am deleting the noise I am formatting the drive Only one file remains Only one file remains [Chorus] Panic in the throat Not enough breath To say the important things Just the stupid things Did I turn off the stove? Did I pay the bill? While I meant to say You are the blood in my veins [Verse 3] Everything else is dust Everything else is filler If the silence comes now If the silence comes right now Read the eyes Read the hands The words are too slow anyway [Outro] I love I love I. . .
