An argument against self-expression

An argument against self-expression

It's time for keeping out of touch.

It's time for saying less. 

To say too little, not too much - 

Repress, repress, repress. 

"Let's talk about it." Or: let's not. 

Besides, I must confess

I'm never sure what feeling's what - 

Repress, repress, repress. 

Don't talk. You'll give too much away.

Let other people guess - 

You think too deep for words, they'll say - 

Repress, repress, repress. 

Maintain your peace. Be almost still,

A gentle soft caress

Of fair winds on a distant hill - 

Repress.
