My mind stays slick

The word refusing to stick

My mind stays slick

When they use the word abuse

The word refusing to stick

*

They're hoping it sticks

No matter that I defuse

My mind stays slick

*

Their words pass me by slick

It's not the one I want to use

The word refusing to stick

*

Please make it stick

I swear it's a misuse

My mind stays slick

*

How can I argue when the floor under me is slick

I defend him, trying to come up with a truce

The word refusing to stick

*

They're hoping it clicks

Everything becoming loose

My mind stays slick

The word refusing to stick
