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
