Whispering Silence

Each little piece begins to stack up

Now suffering under the weight of my choices

And I hardly recognize myself

Somewhere along the line

There stopped being lines at all

(whispering silence)

Whispering silence

The subtle contradiction

Compromise creeps in

Forgetting who I once was

Slowly changing

Who I once was

Each moment seemed so small

When looked at by itself

But it adds up

And it has torn me down

All lines are gone

(whispering silence)

Whispering silence

The subtle contradiction

Compromise creeps in

Forgetting who I once was

Slowly changing

Who I once was

So close the truth

But still impossible

It was never one thing

And too many to try to add up

Fueled by faint deception

Conflict without acknowledging opposition

All because I had taken pride in my hidden lies

Whispering silence

The subtle contradiction

Compromise creeps in

Forgetting who I once was

Slowly changing

Who I once was

It was never one thing

And too many to try to add up

All because I had taken pride in my hidden lies
