Cacophony of Sound

How would it feel if I took your words
right out of your damn mouth
Threw them up and juggled them
then tossed them to the ground

I'll paint a pretty picture 
with the remnants on the tile
And wrap it as a thank you gift
for all of your denial

You. You cause a cacophony of sound
That plays over in my head, refusing to turn down. 
You. You pluck at strings rusting at the root
Causing rotten melodies that I cannot refute. 

I'll play out pictures with my words
Ignite movies in my head
They glide upon my white walls 
like a ghost among the dead

I'll slice the slides you put inside
and rearrange all that remains
I'll cut and paste your pretty face
the way it reigns inside my brain

You. You cause a cacophony of sound. 
That plays over in my head refusing to turn down
You. You pluck at strings rusting at the root.
Causing rotten melodies that I cannot refute. 

You. You cause a cacophony of sound.
Drowning out my judgement until I must lie down. 
You. You strip me of the thoughts inside my mind. 
Leaving vacant spaces where there's nothing left to find.
