The Power of Passivity

lyrics

The Power of Passivity

The Power of passivity
No blame if no activity
And no responsibility
If nothing's what you do to me

Once you got the hook in me
You took off and then you were free
To tease and tease and teasing me
You dance and never answer me

It needs the vital oxygen
Of talk and conversation
It needs the water feeding we
Or die of dehydration

I suffocate
Dying of thirst
Your talk is cheap
Silence is worse

I write and I write I get no reply
I die and I die and I die and I die

So I ended the friendship
(You say) "I don't deserve this" Yes
Yes, you did nothing
Did nothing to preserve this

You did nothing…at all
