"Frightened Whispers" lyrics

"Frightened Whispers"

What are you so worried about
Saying out loud?
Scared they're getting close
Are they're getting close to the safe now

Confiding in the silence
Whispering with all that violence
Raging through your brain
I was raging all the same

You're breaking out
I'm breaking in
You're spoken for
I was spoken down to
You were dreaming in my nightmares
And I'm dreaming in yours
I've been looking for my friend
Since I can't remember when
Now you're nowhere to be found
Left me here on the ground

I was afraid of your heart
I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love"
A candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt
I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end
Is with a frightened whisper in the dark

Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark

What are you so worried about
For crying out loud
Scared I'm getting close
Am I getting under your skin now
Confiding in the silence
An orchestra of tiny violins
Playing on insane
At the funeral in your brain

You'll live without
I'll live within
You were spoken for
I was spoken down to
You were dreaming in my nightmares
And I'm dreaming in yours
I've been looking for my friend
Since I can't remember when
Now you're nowhere to be found
Left me here on the ground

I was afraid of your heart
I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love"
A candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt
I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end
Is with a frightened whisper in the dark

I was afraid of your heart
I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love"
A candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt
I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end
Is with a frightened whisper in the dark

Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark
Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark
