Truth Is A Whisper
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Truth is a whisper and only a choice,
Nobody hears above this noice
Its always a risk when you try and believe
I know there's so much more than me
Yeah
And I got caught in the ruse of the world
Its just a promise no one ever keeps
And now its changing while you sleep
And no one here can see
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something?
Sometimes you choke on the smell just to breathe
I need to question what I need
The rhythm of silence that beats through your mind
Still you forget what you deny
Yeah
And I got caught in the ruse of the world
Its just a promise no one ever keeps
And now its changing while you sleep
And no one here can see
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something?
