Communicate and die

She speaks in a language I know
But in words I can't understand
Trying to communicate with her
Feels like jumping off a cliff

Every word that is spoken
Just makes the mountain higher
And the fall so much longer
Feels like I'll never land and die

She looks like she's saying
Something I should listen to
But no words are understandable
Feels like I'm drunk and disorderly

Every time I try to focus
I take another step to the edge
Of her homemade cliff of conversation
About what I should have known
