Name: Whispers and Words
Duration: P00H03M41S
Description: A rare foray into that weird genre of serious rock, something I've played for years but seldom write or sing in earnest. Call it a challenge, or daring myself to fail, but I was weened on this music and it's in my blood but I've feared because it's so hard to do right. So, eh, here it is.

about

A rare foray into that weird genre of serious rock, something I've played for years but seldom write or sing in earnest. Call it a challenge, or daring myself to fail, but I was weened on this music and it's in my blood but I've feared because it's so hard to do right. So, eh, here it is.

lyrics

There are whispers there are words
There are shouts that go unheard
There are voices only spoken in my mind

There are feelings we betray
With the flimsy things we say
There are casualties of compliments unkind

It comes down to you and me
With our painted eyes to see
No one blames us if we left it all behind
In the corner of my mind

There are noises from upstairs
We hear screaming come from there
Might be echoes, might be people stuck in time

There were prayers that no one kept
Down the hall where the parents slept
We got tired of watching broken clocks unwind

It comes down to you and me
With our painted eyes to see
No one blames us if we left it all behind
In the corner of my mind
