Quiet Hushed Voices

When I was young I mimicked my father

I followed his shadow in the street

I would lie awake for hours

Listening to Flow's (?) Creek

I was hynotized by his deep voice

and the way him and my mother would speak

In quiet hushed voices

In words I don't understand

Talking well into the warm dark night

Touching my head with their hands

Now I'm older

and I'm affected

I'm not as genuine as I let on

And I lie to her like it's nothing at all

Some call it leading her on

Well we talk late at night

I tell her I might be in love

I say anything to make her head swim

To help me rise above

These quiet hushed voices

These words I don't understand

Talking well into the warm dark night

Holding my head in my hands

They say guilt can penetrate

the thickest walls

I say it keeps me ?

It'll get me through

another day

It'll keep them

from going

Now I'm a shadow of my former self

And I make my own way

I can't seem to get my head

to settle

Or to keep my mind

from straying

And I remember back

to days past

I never had a clue

Ever since I could think or speak

all I knew

Were these quiet hushed voices

These words I don't understand

Words I shout into the ? night

Holding my head in my hand

Well these quiet hushed voices

These words I don't understand

words I shout into the ? night

Holding my head in my hand

Quiet hushed voices

Quiet hushed voices

Quiet hushed voices
