Drinking in the Luxuries

Drinking in the Luxuries

I speak in silence
You can hear me how?
Plug headphones into my heart
Can you hear me now?
I scream, I weep,
I scream in my sleep
As I snore, in my dreams
Tucked away in my mind
To the point where
The only ears that can hear
Are the ears that are mine

I wait, I pace,
Go back, to and fro
Cause this trodden path
Is the only one I know
Whether I go forward in one moment
I am back within the next
There is no bettering myself
There is no progress

So why bother with noise
If those who can't hear
Only bother to listen
If it benefits their ears
You can whine
You can wallow
But only drink what you can swallow
And if my words prove to big

Better not take another swig.
