lyrics

“Messages”
© 2010 C. Rose

is it a language that you speak
or do you just pretend?
for I don't always understand
the messages you send.
_____

i can always hear your words
but I don't know what you say
it is alien to me.
will I crack the code today?

i am starting to believe
the solution has to lie
in a knowledge unreceived
or just locked inside my mind.
_____

is it a language that you speak
or do you just pretend?
for I don't always understand
the messages you send.
_____

this behavior that you seek
is remaining undefined
as I lose the will to speak.
is the problem yours or mine?

how can I decipher these
messages you send to me?
when you seem to change the code
the passage, and the frequency.
without telling me…
_____

while I think I know the plan
and I've memorized the rules
i cannot apologize
for a cypher built by fools.
