I might as well whisper
When did we become walls?
Bricks and stones
who want to be their own
Forget what unites us,
what causes our falls
and maybe when we land
it won't hurt us at all
Anyone be my band-aid
I know I never asked to be saved
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I scream
when no one hears?
I might as well whisper
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I reach out
when there's no one near?
I might as well whisper
Carry my voice in here
Theater sincere
When did we stare and look away?
Got sticks and rocks
entering the box
Jumble us around and
mix as you may
I don't hear any steps
going here, gone astray
Anyone stroke me across my cheek
Sell your helping hand so cheap
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I scream
when no one hears?
I might as well whisper
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I reach out
when there's no one near?
I might as well whisper
Carry my voice
in this theater sincere
So why are we acting?
Playing roles we were never supposed
to play
And no one's reacting
if a sheep from the flock is lost
We don't try and find it
We don't try and pray
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I scream
when no one hears?
I might as well whisper
Deaf ears
What does it matter if I reach out
when there's no one near?
I might as well whisper
Carry my voice
in this theater sincere
And action!
Wow, this one's great!! Awesome job, girl!! :**
ReplyDeleteI love the words and feelings used and portrayed within this masterpiece, Great job Becca. This is one of your best for the way it suits me, I mean I couldn't agree more with the message encrusted within the words.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. =) It was my mate who came up to me, like, "hey, I have this awesome title for a song, Deaf Ears!" And then this song took form in my head almost straight away, I actually wrote it while in class cause I couldn't stop thinking about it. Then when writing it it just sounded so awesome sticking in "theater sincere" in the chorus and thus the new title was born.

you are so talanted, beccy, you just have to keep up the good work ;)
