Hearing Aid - R Stevie Moore

Listening to the world through a hearing aid

I can turn down the volume of sound

Well, and the music I miss goes to you

Well, and I can’t seem to tell what is real

I’m listening to you speak through a hearing aid

Your words come from deep in a cave

Well, and the phrases you choose silently

Well, and I can’t seem to tell what you feel

If only you’d flatter me with new batteries

Life would be audible

Can you still hear me loud and clearly?

Is it plausible?

Listening to myself through a hearing aid

There’s a microphone alone in my pipes

Well, and the noise that I keep to myself

Well, and I can’t seem to keep it concealed
