Whispering

Verse 1 Slow down wait up I can barely whisper I hold on I hold up Emptiness like a banner Hope left in the middle of the day Through the phone with a smile I asked God please wait I might be gone for a while Chorus I’ve never known a more lonesome tone Than the voice when I lie And I promise the most pointless question is why Passion seeks out my heart but only finds my brain My body is home To both Abel and Cain Pretty faces, dark hair, and pale skin Are distracting But I'm sick of shouting words when all I hear is whispering Verse 2 You can taste the metal in my breath A Smoking steam engine It means I think of things you could not Even imagine Pride is the only companion I always know What’s the point of being brilliant If it doesn't show So let me warn you now about The darker side without integrity imagination only turns to lies Chorus I’ve never known a more lonesome tone Than the voice when I lie And I promise the most pointless question is why Passion seeks out my heart but only finds my brain My body is home To both Abel and Cain Pretty faces, dark hair, and pale skin Are distracting But I'm sick of shouting words when all I hear is whispering
