Drawing Listeners

Wake from this slumber
My tongue is cluttered
I shudder to think
Of all the things you've kept from me
Why won't you listen to any of my excuses?
They're clever, I swear
I'm always prepared
It's life and death
It's love and sex
It's everything about you
Why'd you have to make this mess?
You never really had to
This room shakes with resounding sounds
Of the mistakes I never made
I'm here to blame
It's life and death
It's love and sex
It's everything about you
Why'd you have to make this mess?
You never had to
I'll give it time, time to let go
Rest assured, my voice is heard wherever you go
It's a sound, it's a whisper drawing listeners
Surely you have heard it differ
From the lights and looks of things
I've always been in between
It's life and death
It's love and sex
It's everything about you
Why'd you have to make this mess?
You never had to
I'll give it time, time to let go
Rest assured, my voice is heard wherever you go
