chatter

katherine mcnamara

everyone's talking just to fill some space

and everything's nothing till it means heartbreak

words without power just evaporate

don't wanna hear it today

out here on a tight rope

high above a long road

what's the point of wishing

when nobody's listening

i'm listening

hello

hello

this is my voice

hello

hello

through the white noise

words only hurt when you let them matter

don't let them matter

it's only chatter

it's like the world's lying

just to make you small

deafening whispers in an empty hall

feel yourself fading to invisible

don't wanna hear it at all

at all

'cause louder than the joking

is everything unspoken?

you don't need to feel me

don't need to be near me

to hear me

hello

hello

this is my voice

hello

hello

through the white noise

words only hurt when you let them matter

don't let them matter

it's only chatter

you know it don't matter

all of that clatter

words that don't flatter

only make us sadder

make your world shatter

stab you like a dagger

leaving you in tatters

only makes me madder

don't wanna hear it today

today

don't wanna hear it today

today

hello

hello

this is my voice

hello

hello

through the white noise

words only hurt when you let them matter

don't let them matter

it's only chatter. hello

hello

this is my voice

hello

hello

through the white noise

words only hurt when you let them matter

don't let them matter

it's only chatter
