Have to Say
Music & Lyrics by Billy Z Duke

does it matter what I give you
a reason or an excuse
I must have been a rabbit
cause all the dogs broke loose
and shook to death
each and every part of what I said
I only stopped to draw a breath

I give you my confession
with the utmost conviction
but that doesn't change the fact
that it's probably fiction
if you ever stopped to listen
you might someday learn the difference

I just want a day when I don't have to say anything
just one day when I don't have to say
what I don't have to say

could you repeat the question
I missed it the hundredth time
on second thought don't bother
besides the turn is mine forever
while you're all in love with the weather
I'll keep my tongue firmly tethered

now I've nothing better to do than
break down every now and then
in front of family and friends
and take them on a semi-guided tour
of all the things I said before
I realized all they are is bored

I just want a day when I don't have to say anything
just one day when I don't have to say my prayers
when I don't have to care
when I don't have to try so hard to keep complaining

nirvana is further and further away
