Words from Words by Empty Space

Words are honey
Words are poison
Words a ramen noodles
That’s all I’m affording
When I close off my ears
To expensive takes
I lose all the fears
Of dealing with your mistakes
And they could mine
And they could be no ones
Or just said by time
And said just to be done
Words are honey
Words are poison
Words are generic brands
That’s all I’m affording

Words mean nothing
Words don’t matter
They don’t break my bones
But my tears still splatter
Words like poor
Words like fake
A sentence would be nice
But I’m afraid of my mistakes
Words hold power
Words that kill
If you lie enough
You will never have to feel
Words lose meaning
Words are repeated
I’m hearing the same things
My life has been cheated
Words of self-hate
Words of submission
Can I skip this time
If I tell you my condition
Words like depression
Words like death
Have you tried being less sensitive
Just another fucking regret
A word self-harm
A word suicide
Will speaking the truth
Erase every time I’ve tried
Use words to manipulate
Use words to destroy
I grasp at every thread
I just want to feel some joy

Words are honey
Words are poison
Words come used
When that’s all I’m affording
When I open my ears
To truthful sounds
I find that I’m happy
when they are around
And they could be kind
Or they could go nowhere
As long as their honest
They float in the air
Words are honey
Words are poison
Words are thrifted
When that’s all I’m affording

Words have meaning
Words can feel
If you change your tone
You might notice this is real
Words like beauty
Words like truth
If you use them wisely
You can always show the proof
Words have power
Words can heal
They can mend the broken
If you believe they are real
Words keep meaning
Words are repeated
Noticing these times
Where you were not cheated
Words like patience
Words like life
Working through the issues
Helps you deal with the strife
Words of self-love
Words dedication
It’s ok to vent
All of your frustrations
A word self-care
A word like revive
Cherish every letter
I’m so glad that you survived
Use words to give love
Use words to restore
Be conscious of each syllable
And you can love some more
