Lyrics
Careless Talk Costs Lives
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.
The silence gets so ugly now
As it begins to grow
And soon you can't remember
If you ever even spoke
It gets so big it fills you up
It trickles down your throat
It gets so big it fills the air
It shoots right up your nose
So you mutter something pointless
Out of pure necessity
The only thing that's certain now
Is your uncertainty
You're sure you made a noise
But now it's surrounded by the air
How can you ever prove
That it was ever even there
Let alone that it had tone
That proved you didn't care
Now what started off as one thing
Just like everything will change
No matter your precision
The words start to rearrange
Into a brand new scentence
Reflected back into your brain
Transmormed during the journey
From your head and back again
So the meaning now is different
Though the words remain the same
Careful where you put your big ideas
Careless talk may cost us dear my dear
Careful where you wast your words so wise
For I'm the impressionable kind
The silence get's so ugly now
As it begins to grow
And soon you can't remeber
If you eve even spoke
It gets so big it fills the air
It shoots right up your nose
He just watched the words so pretty
As they flew out of her mouth
She tried to swallow them down
But in the end she had to get them out
You don't know what they mean
But you just like the way they sound
You like the way your name fits in
The corners of her mouth
You like the way your name fits in
The corners of her mouth
You like the way your name fits in
The corners of her mouth
You like the way your name slips out
The corners of her mouth
