Big Talker

[2006]

Hey big talker, shut your mouth

I’ve figured what you’re all about

Your lips form words I like to hear

Professing promises loud and clear

Oh, like a roll how you buttered me up

Talking your talk, strutting your stuff

Those words kept on pouring; they hardly relented

Babbling blubberings, you simply pretended

To mean what you said, oh such veracity!

To believe in such bullshit, nay, the fool is me.

Your eyes gave no hint of your lips’ misconceptions

In fact, they seemed to enjoy the deception

Winking and twinkling with gazes sincere

My eyes had no choice but with yours to adhere

Those eyes and those lips worked together, you see

Conspiring ways of deceiving me

So you gazed, and you talked

And you talked, and you gazed

Lost in that look, I was listening, dazed

But you must have blinked, for I unlocked my eyes

And discerned in your words all the horrible lies

Now blind to your eyesight, deaf to your voice

The darkness and silence, I’ll always rejoice.
