MEARA - Talk

Maybe I'll just stay awake keep all the lights on
Make a promise that you'll break soon as the night's gone
I think about what might've been what are the chances
You'd have ever let me win? Candlelight dances

In the corner of a room in the back of a house
In a city where the people never really turn the lights out
I know something's up there's a ringing in my ear
I can see right through you and it's crystal clear

You can talk and talk and tell me that you'll never top the spot you're at but I can't hear a thing
Be polite if that's the way you like to play the fight but I can't hear a thing
No one else can tell a lie like you I can see it in your eyes so blue
So just call your bluff it's over now and soon enough you'll knock me down but I can't hear a thing

Hoping you can cover up all of your drawbacks
Make sure you can fill your cup think that you're all that
People come and people go just like the water
Where you'll take me I don't know lamb to the slaughter

If you listen really close and you really want to hear
You can almost hear the people screaming "we don't want to be here!"
I know something's up there's a whistle in the breeze
You can make me smile but I won't say "cheese"

You can talk and talk and tell me that you'll never top the spot you're at but I can't hear a thing
Be polite if that's the way you like to play the fight but I can't hear a thing
No one else can make a marathon stop I really hope that you've got it on lock
So just call your bluff it's over now and soon enough you'll knock me down but I can't hear a thing

You can talk and talk but I can't promise that I'll listen
It's a lot to ask me to pretend it makes a difference
When you talk and talk and tell me just how much you miss it
When you had me in the ring
You can talk and talk but I don't really understand it
How you have the breath for everything you took for granted
But you talk and talk and well I'd say that I can't stand it
But I just can't hear nothing my dear no I-I-I-I-I can't hear a thing!

You can talk and talk and tell me that you'll never top the spot you're at but I can't hear a thing
Be polite if that's the way you like to play the fight but I can't hear a thing
Darling won't you turn the radio on? "Retribution" is my favorite song
So just call your bluff it's over now and soon enough you'll knock me down but I can't hear a thing
I can't hear a thing
I can't hear a thing
