Lyrics for Whispering Silence

Each little piece begins to stack up Now suffering under the weight of my choices And I hardly recognize myself Somewhere along the line There stopped being lines at all (whispering silence) Whispering silence The subtle contradiction Compromise creeps in Forgetting who I once was Slowly changing Who I once was Each moment seemed so small When looked at by itself But it adds up And it has torn me down All lines are gone (whispering silence) Whispering silence The subtle contradiction Compromise creeps in Forgetting who I once was Slowly changing Who I once was So close the truth But still impossible It was never one thing And too many to try to add up Fueled by faint deception Conflict without acknowledging opposition All because I had taken pride in my hidden lies Whispering silence The subtle contradiction Compromise creeps in Forgetting who I once was Slowly changing Who I once was It was never one thing And too many to try to add up All because I had taken pride in my hidden lies
