I've kept a lot of different journals and diaries. This is about a strange feeling you get when you suddenly realize how different you were when you wrote an old entry.
When you write in, you're talking out.
When you read it back, it's like somebody else is talking to you.
In silence.
lyrics
The pen strokes the paper,
I scribble thoughts I'm sure are mine.
Every page of spilled ink listens as I,
write out my insides.
I talk to the page,
it doesn't talk back.
It can only ever lend a listening ear.
I spill my life in this notepad.
When I find the page hiding away,
I find that I become a listener for what it'll say.
And when I find how different I've become,
back and forth we'll talk,
together in a silent conversation.
The page never forgets me,
it takes a shard of me for itself
and when I finally come to find it,
it becomes the shard of somebody else
The page talks to me,
I can't talk back,
I can only ever lend a listening ear,
I spill my life in this notepad.
When I find the page hiding away,
I find that I become a listener for what it'll say.
And when I find how different I've become,
back and forth we'll talk,
together in a silent conversation.
