Somebody told me
Somebody whispered
I heard it in the wind
Carried softly
on the lips of bottles
Staining my eardrum
With those pleasures
You've taken from me
Somebody told me
Somebody whispered
I herd it in my ear
As it grew and swelled
I stored it in those
Empty hearts
fueled by your love
Broken glass
my feet to tread
I heard it clearly
She told me
She whispered
that
You don't love me

Very cryptic and curious at first and then just drops the mood like an instantaneous sickness.
Awesomeness Schmeezmar.
