The Quiet Persuader Lyrics
Pacing hotel room hallways
Trying to call you, not getting through
Driving congested highways
Closing whatever space that I can
A calming, a calming effect that is only achieved by
Arguing with those kind enough to listen to you
And then there's me
I'm the quiet persuader
Willing things to just happen
While everyone else is working, working at something
Oh, to accept the space between what we do and what we dream of
Every compromise, every sacrifice just builds up the shame
Is it so much to ask, to make a life out of this?
I should be choosing my words but I'm throwing my fists
I should be building up a wall against a sedative complacency
But nothing's gonna calm it down and no one's getting through to me
Just how much longer can we stay?
Just how much more can we take?
We should be making our marks but we're cleaning the walls
I was counting the miles
Will you remember me?
You were counting the days
Will you remember?
And it's strange, the numbers we wanted
Will you remember me?
Like we're moving in opposite ways
Will you remember?
Trying to call you, not getting through
Driving congested highways
Closing whatever space that I can
A calming, a calming effect that is only achieved by
Arguing with those kind enough to listen to you
And then there's me
I'm the quiet persuader
Willing things to just happen
While everyone else is working, working at something
Every compromise, every sacrifice just builds up the shame
Is it so much to ask, to make a life out of this?
I should be choosing my words but I'm throwing my fists
I should be building up a wall against a sedative complacency
But nothing's gonna calm it down and no one's getting through to me
Just how much more can we take?
We should be making our marks but we're cleaning the walls
Will you remember me?
You were counting the days
Will you remember?
And it's strange, the numbers we wanted
Will you remember me?
Like we're moving in opposite ways
Will you remember?
