Whisper a Little Louder

Drowning in sound from the liberty bells
When the dragon was slain I just chased something else
And the words I can hear through the noise
are just echoes of my winded voice
Roaming around I'm still gasping for air
Took the craziness out, but there's plenty to spare
Pulled the curtain away from the stage, but the script must be missing a page

Too many thoughts, too many words
When I just need to feel at ease
Too many wounds, too many cries
Too many people to appease
Too many roads, too many doors
Too many locks, too many keys
So I'm begging could you whisper just a little louder, please

Exercise, stay in line
Don't look back, look divine
Didn't your dad use to tell you
If you complain they'll expel you
Never cry, never take cover
No one wants a disturbed lover
Didn't your mom used to tell you to smile
Tell you to go down in style
Drowning in sound and the tide's coming in
I lost sight of the shore, of the places I've been
Thought that you would provide destination
Maybe I'm just on probation
Standing my ground, but the world is so loud
And the Road to Damascus is almost worn out
I know i ask for to much
But please stay in touch

Too many thoughts, too many words
When I just need to feel at ease
Too many wounds, too many cries
Too many people to appease
Too many roads, too many doors
Too many locks, too many keys
So I'm begging could you whisper just a little louder, please

Don't give up on me, don't give up
Whisper to me louder please
Don't give up on me, don't give up
Whisper to me louder please
Don't give up on me, don't give up
Whisper to me louder please
Don't give up on me, don't give up
Whisper to me louder please

Too many thoughts, too many words
When I just need to feel at ease
Too many wounds, too many cries
Too many people to appease
Too many roads, too many doors
Too many locks, too many keys
So I'm begging could you whisper just a little louder, please
