Translation
Bilingual
Swallowing my words
Staring at the floor
Counting little cracks in the tile
Struggling to smile without choking
Learning to be silent
Watching how the dust
Dances out the door
Noticing my hands start to shake
Contemplating taking up up smoking
Learning to be silent
Always hearing
"Hush Ethel"
"Please, Vi"
"Let's not have this conversation"
And so I stand by
While my mind takes a small vacation
La la la la la la la la
Making little sounds
Other folks ignore
Quieting the beat of my heart
Never being part of the moment
Learning to be silent
Learning there are some topics that we don't even mention
And if they come up, then we try to be vague
There are subjects from which we divert all attention
And some we avoid like the plague
I'm
Becoming a mime
Biting my tounge
Biding my time
Trying not to scream
Trying not to scream
Managed it before
Managed it before
Knowing if i'm going to survive
then, dammit!
I've got to practice
Practice
Learning hm-hm-hm...
END
