The Manimals - Talk lyrics

In this light, I could be anyone The hero that you wanted all along A giant's shadow looming up the wall But smaller now than I ever was Oh my kindness is a lie A wicked tongue and wicked eyes She was shy and I was just a boy I wonder where a girl like that would go The hollow ring of silver on the floor Bought your company but not your love Now here we are, my mercenary friends We can drink and talk and play pretend [Pre-Chorus:] All the words that hurt you Wear them now like armor They will never harm or burden you again I won't fight like a lion of the rock But damn it if I don't give good talk [Chorus:] Talk, talk, talk, talk... A cliche of a broken thing A ruin filling up on wine and skin Leave this city, go across the sea Forget the ashes of my family We are all still puppets on their strings Truth, an ever-buried, bitter thing [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
