Every Irrelevance
There's no sound so profound
Can't even be heard
No silence or violence
Can't be disturbed
So just say it, convey it
Sing out like a bird
If it's a secret, I'll keep it
I give you my word
Even though I know it don't make any sense
I'm in love with your every irrelevance
Catharsis? My arse is
Capable of more flush
Exposure just for "closure"
Won't accomplish much
If these loose words go unheard
What's it matter to us?
'Cause we're friends and in essence
That's all about trust
And all at once life's richness and consequence
Was there in your every irrelevance
Even though I know it don't make any sense
I'm in love with your every irrelevance
