A Lecture Spoken To A Melody

please don't sing to me
it's just a lecture spoken to a melody
I would listen anyway
I love the torture
and it would make you stay
So speak softly
and choose wisely
which topic about which you'll complain
It's unheard of
this justice
don't make me hear another word

I'm missing what I have to lose
I've gotten no sleep with you

So I propose another way
Creativity, can you be saved?
Baby, we're dying here
We're drifting apart
I can't write anymore
This is really all I've got

The well's gone dry
I'm all washed up
Oh, the things I'd write about
Oh, I give up
I need to help me
Make it not all for naught
Help me take a pen
and write down all my thoughts

My hand slips as I write
Oh, god, will I be alright?

Let's find out today
creativity, can you be saved
Baby, we're dying here
We're drifting apart
I can't write anymore
This is really all I've got

Please, don't turn off the light
I want to watch you tonight
Just tell me, will I be alright
I see conclusions in sight

Let's us find out who is to blame
Creativity, can you be saved?
Baby, we're dying here
We're drifting apart
I can't write anymore
This is really all I've got

Can any of this be true?
Creativity, I'm lost without you
