Johnathan Rice - Quiet Hushed Voices lyrics

When I was young I mimicked my father I followed his shadow in the street I would lie awake for hours Listening to Flow's (?) Creek I was hynotized by his deep voice And the way him and my mother would speak In quiet hushed voices In words I don't understand Talking well into the warm dark night Touching my head with their hands Now I'm older And I'm affected I'm not as genuine as I let on And I lie to her like it's nothing at all Some call it leading her on Well we talk late at night I tell her I might be in love I say anything to make her head swim To help me rise above These quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Talking well into the warm dark night Holding my head in my hands They say guilt can penetrate The thickest walls I say it keeps me ? It'll get me through Another day It'll keep them From going Now I'm a shadow of my former self And I make my own way I can't seem to get my head To settle Or to keep my mind From straying And I remember back To days past I never had a clue Ever since I could think or speak All I knew Were these quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Words I shout into the ? night Holding my head in my hand Well these quiet hushed voices These words I don't understand Words I shout into the ? night Holding my head in my hand Quiet hushed voices Quiet hushed voices Quiet hushed voices
