Savage Garden

A Thousand Words

We stumble in a tangled web
Decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid
All hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes

So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin
Call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you anymore

Well, time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind

So take all this noise into your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin
Call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud

You could resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason why
I don't need you anymore

I'll say the words out loud, I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation.
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation.
