Stammer

lubsedutime

F-f-f-falter

I always st-st-st-stutter

Pause

 

There are so, so, so many f-f-flaws

Upon words, upon words I st-st-stumble

My, my, my tongue treats me so c-c-c-cruel

Like an echo

Like an echo

My syllables g-g-g-go

A rep-rep-rep-etition

A re-re-re-verberation

Rap, rap, rapidly

Or

In, in, indis-tinctly

As I st-st-st-stammer

I sp-sp-sp-splutter
