Skirmish: I Don't Talk to People on... (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
"I don't talk to people on purpose" should be on my next t-shirt. I love that sentence. So I had to do the skirmish. And that's what happened.
More notes after the song.

Lyrics
I Don't Talk On Purpose
I don’t talk to people on purpose
Because one sentence begets the next
And soon you’re doing small talk
And that always leaves me quite vexed
I didn’t snub you and I didn’t look haughty
That is just my normal expression
My mind was elsewhere thinking about dinner
But what you now see that is aggression
I like to hide in the shadows
I prefer to stand slightly apart
I’m more comfortable watching the crowd
Than having a heart-to-heart
I don’t feel superior, I just have no opinion
This topic is not my expertise
Can’t you just leave me out of this discussion
And go back to ignoring me, please?
I don’t talk to people on purpose
Because one chitchat begets the next
And some people expect me to listen
And that always leaves me perplexed
I don’t care about your problems
I only care if I can get you alone
And words really don’t matter
Once I gorge on your flesh and bones
