Letra de Measuring Words - Jimmy Lafave

It's beyond all rhyme and reason
Between the truth and lies
A mental maze of madness
The endless diatribe
You never talk about it
All you do is yell and scream
Volume up so loud and hollow
The thoughts become obscene
You block out my comprehension
Everything you say is absurd
You're not making conversation, honey
You are only measuring words
Get up on your soapbox, baby
Throw your book at me
Tell me that I'm always guilty
Guilty to the first degree
Tell me I love to hurt you
Tell me I like to lie
Tell me I'm not even human
'Cause you never see me cry
But the din you throw at me, baby
Only leaves my emotions unstirred
You're not making conversation, honey

You are only measuring words
Measuring words until they mean nothing
Measuring words that only cause pain
Measuring words tortured and twisted
Measuring words 'til they are insane
Measuring words in the heat of the moment
That always play on our fears
Measuring words they fall on my deaf ears
We don't talk about it, baby
We just don't communicate
It's a one way ride to nowhere
Syllables have sealed the fate
We don't hear each other
The signal's lost, we both agree
Hopeless sense of isolation
So very clear to see
No compromise in the future
When everything we say goes unheard
You're not making conversation, honey
You are only measuring words
