I Can T Stop Talking lyrics

I keep myself awake at night
I try to stop, but I can`t fight
That voice that whispers ceaselessty
The one that only talks to me
It tells me what I have to fear
It spits its venom in my ear
It calculates and carefully
Enumerates its strategies
Round and round its loves and hates
It endlessly reiterates
It never stops, I`ve never heard
The silence of that final word

But I`ve got to stop talking, I can`t stop talking
There is no stopping a brain that keeps talking
I know it`s not healthy, I know it`s not true
I don`t even know who I`m talking to
But I can`t stop talking, I`ve got to stop talking
All night and all day I have something to say
I drone on and on, though I know it`s not true
I`ve got to stop talking, I`m not talking to you

The truth around my tongue is curled
A chain of words that binds the world
In a fever, all I
Is captured in my commentary
The why, the who, the where, the when
Let me repeat them all agai n
And then again my voice will sing
The praises of it`s babbling
The arguments that I dissect
Are lucid, cogent and correct
And if you foolishly object
I`ll Gram each word back down you neck

(chorus)

If I`m the talker, here`s the thing -
Just who the hell is listening?
And if I am not tongue but ears
Then whos voice is it that I hear?
I swallow, choke, and clear my throat
Here comes another anecdote
A narrative of restlessness
Of what`s been done and what is next
Does it love me, does it not?
Will this seduction never stop?
Hear the clacking parrot`s beak
That speaks and speaks and speaks and speaks-acap
