[Lyric] Eunuch (Kiran Leonard)

I went to yours in distress
Loose leaf and admittance of sickness
With fear in my voice
I divulged, now you know
Stories from an era ago

I replay scenes in my sleep
Reinterpret words that were said to me
Inside there's a confident voice that phrases truths
Wordless and mute
It explains everything

Fixed on the rug with my eyes
You smiled and tried to sympathize
Silence creeps in and scratches at my hands
It's alright, nothing wrong, don't ask
It'll take too long
To explain, in real life, or in song

You might ask why I insist
On keeping my distance and phrasing it like this
Obscured and safe in metaphorical repose
Honesty's a noble goal until it comes too close
Comes to close...
