Quiet Voices

(album: Liars - 2006)

I am weak
You are strong
And we need to belong together
Love never hurt
It just tore us apart
And I will change
You will see
I don't care
I don't like you anyway
You're a duck
I'm a swan
And we live across the pond

I'm looking for a new kind of mirror
The kind that helps me see
These whispers, quiet voices
From my mind, to your mind
Please listen, I am speaking
From my mind to your mind now...

I can barely say what I mean out loud
We have others to please, to please
I'm awake for the bell
But for now I can tell your hands are cold
When I reach for a response
I barely know my wants
I barely know my needs

I'm looking for a new kind of mirror
The kind that helps me clear
The kind that helps me see
These whispers, quiet voices
From my mind, to your mind
Please listen, I am speaking
From my mind to your mind now...

Now as I cower in un-need protection
From vampires and demons
And my own reflection
Your body's a hotel
I'll stay for the night
Please help me get up from this fight
All the windows are open
I can't close my eyes
My heart as been tainted my lies
And we stay up till the sunlight as covered the night
I've never been so terrified of daylight

And I know need a new kind of mirror
The kind that helps me see
These whispers, quiet voices
From my mind, to your mind
Please listen, I am speaking
From my mind to your mind now...

I can barely say what I mean out loud
We got others to please
I'll make you a promise
I won't close my eyes
My heart as been tainted my lies
And we stay up till the sunlight as covered the night
I've never been so terrified of daylight
