I Can't Hear You Whisper

These nights are getting longer by the day

every hour that we waste is an eternity alone

hold fast, we're inviting our collapse

and our house of cards can't stand up on it's own

why must we burn our hands a thousand times

before we ever learn

that there are reasons we react

pulling strings that hold the stars up

coaxing down the angels from on high

coaxing down but not quite automatic

just keep driving, just keep driving

never think to fall asleep

I wouldn't think the night would leave you wanting

and when we make it home

fragile thoughts won't be alone

don't just wave goodbye as you go

I can't feel at all

I can't hear you whisper

I've never seen such indecision

here we go to lock ourselves away

this frustration's got us hanging but our fingernails

gravity is taking over

you be sane and I'll be sober

our prize won't be better in the end

it's another season passed

and we won't get the chance again

why must we burn our hands a thousand times

before we ever learn

that there are reason we react

pulling strings that hold the stars up

coaxing down the angels from on high

coaxing down but not quite automatic

I can't feel at all

I can't hear you whisper

I've never seen such indecision

here we go to lock ourselves away

don't brace for rain

it's not too late, but that's not what they'll tell me

don't race for pain

don't leave well enough alone

or make the same mistakes

we promised ourselves we'd know much better

I can't feel at all

I can't hear you whisper

I've never seen such indecision

here we go to lock ourselves away
