Radio Silence

no calls in
no word out
I won’t whisper
I can’t shout
must maintain radio silence

thoughts — feelings
matter of pride
keep up appearances
hold it inside
should maintain radio silence

what makes me
matter to you
why do you
care about me
let me know

as simple as
a blink of light
a wink at night
across an open sea

static — empty
nothing on the line
key the com
before I’m out of time
can’t maintain radio silence

tap a message
break this code
must find out
if I’m only alone
won’t maintain radio silence

what makes me
matter to you
why do you
care about me
let me know

as simple as
a blink of light
a wink at night
across an open sea

are the wires crossed
is the antenna aligned
I don’t know
I just can’t tell
takes a specialist
I’m just a goddamned existentialist

what makes me
matter to you
why do you
care about me
let me know

as simple as
a blink of light
a wink at night
across an open sea
