"Today" is such a deceptive word   For I spent all my days   grieving loud   I sang all my pain   so distressingly   Just to hush up any imploring shout    I couldn't speak   'cause the words I knew   Like rotten mushrooms dissolved   You came out of that   burring host of sounds   Brought me back   solid consonants and vowels       And now my skin is   so close-fitting   Keeps the line with all the rest,   since you came in   I used to dispel among the things   that people wanted me to do       I thought we got too familiar   To be lovers that   cherish the flame   All that we need   is attention   And I know I'll always give you the same       'Cause now my skin is so close-fitting   Blending with reality,   since you came in   Nothing ever moved me   like your patience    While you taught me how to choose
