Evasions

Speak so softly, I will hear you Though your words are uncincere All your talk amounts to nothing And that nothing's not for me Through a thousand smooth evasions Your voice still rings in my ears If you'd remember who you were I could take hell out of your care I could give you all I am No more syllables to hide us Fate dead within our hands No more shadows and contortions We have run out of lies I could leave you undefended Always hurting, always wrong Leave you wanting and dependent On a hope that'd let you down But still your voice retains the phantom Of all you wanted to be I could give you all I am Say my name No more words to hide us Fate dead within our hands No more shadows and contortions We have run out of lies No more syllables to hide us Say my name
