WE ARE THE SUM OF WHAT WE CAN'T EXPRESS

 

WE ARE THE SUM OF WHAT WE CAN’T EXPRESS

We are the sum of what we can’t express

Always second guessed and second guessing

Taking in the news always being used

By whoever is trying to sell us something

What if we just fade away

From the news we heard today

From the trends we cannot understand

Look at starlight whirling there

Change the locks on all despair

Listen to the quiet where

Nothing is required of us.

Especially our wearying opinions.
