Whisper

Why don't you call it like you see

And not how you want it to be

And fool the eyes that can only look in from the outside

If you hold it in too long

If you hold it in too deep

You'll fail to illuminate all that you walk beneath

CHORUS:

We all need to open wide

When you whisper does anyone hear

Honesty has lost its appeal

When you whisper can anyone hear

When was the last time

You stepped beyond these walls

Better speak with the governor

For a pardon he's sure to grant if you'd only call

It's easier to conceal

Than it is to admit defeat

But you just can't switch hands

To lighten the load on your feet

CHORUS

All this time

The knowledge kept inside your mind

The broken back of silence hears her scream

CHORUS
