All the Lies You Whisper

from Random Magic by Schweitzer

/

lyrics

Streetlights glowing in the darkness
like a thousand lonely islands
in a dark and empty sea
And the stars are blotted out of sight
by tears that stay within the eyes
It’s like a warning from my conscience
like an amber light at cross-roads
is it blindness that endangers me?
How I wish you weren’t so distant
I could hear you, I could touch your mind

Never talk out loud when you’re alone
You’ll never reach another ear
the words will rise and disappear
Without a trace, and you’ll still be alone
(With all the lies you whisper)
With all the lies you whisper
(With all the lies you whisper)
…all the lies

Little ears that listen in the stillness
like a million angry poets
waiting patiently for lines to use
All the lies you whisper to your pillow
in the night seep into your eyes
I’ll bet you never felt their presence
like a cancer in your memory
was it apathy that blinded you?
How I wish you could have seen me
I was there beside you all the time

Never talk out loud when you’re alone
You’ll never reach another ear
the words will rise and disappear
Without a trace, and you’ll still be alone

Never talk out loud when you’re alone
You’ll never reach another ear, the words will rise and disappear
Without a trace, and you’ll still be alone
(With all the lies you whisper)
With all the lies you whisper
(With all the lies you whisper)
…all the lies

I chose to use my surname, "Schweitzer," for practical reasons, realizing long ago that pronouncing "Richard Schweitzer" was difficult. "Schweitzer Projects" under the "tindog music & stuff" umbrella is producing songs in the Pop / Pop rock or folk categories ... more
