Speechless Lyrics

Indecisive and deaf or dumb
Tongue-dried in the sun
Nervous speech and your mental health
Drunk on every detail

Loosened up from the moral slide as though
There's nothing to hide
It corresponds with your secret view and
Never weighs upon you

I'd blame someone but I've got you
Like everyday that bores me
Sleep fine at night and
Wake up to my early speechless morning

It works like crime, adjust your view
Waste your time improving
She's cut so well and lifelike too
You'll bleed to death before me

I think this letter is about the act and the guilt of gossip. Most of the lines give tips. For example:

"Indecise and deaf or dumb, tongue-dried in the sun" the dilemma of telling or not a gossip;

"It corresponds with your secret view and never weight upon you" gossip is your vision about someone, a secret that does not weigh on you, but who you talk about.

"It works like crime, adjust your view. Waste your time improving" a sermon, suggesting a change for the better.

"She's cut so well and lifelike too. You'll bleed to death before me" I think it speaks as much as a gossip can seem real, and both gossipy and victim will get hurt, but whoever does the wrong always falls first.

That's it. Virtually all the lines talk about it, but I pointed only the ones I liked the most.
