Evasions

Speak it softly, I will hear you

though your words are insincere

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
