Performance - Whispering Sons

I can’t shake it off

I can’t shake it off

White lights start burning slowly

Exposing my fear of showing

But I can’t shake them off

I can’t shake them off

Their indifferent eyes chain me

To central stage nudity

But I can’t let them down

I can’t let them down

This black mask I’m wearing

Can’t even force a vacant smile

And I can’t take it off

I can’t take it off

Icy sounds fill the crowd

And the fool in their midst laughs loudest of all

And I can’t shake it off

Speak up

Speak up

My words just dramatize

Everything that’s banalized

But, please spit it out

Oh, please spit it out

These curtains won’t fall before

I have straight on staged my truth

I have fooled you again

I have fooled you again

Music has ceased, performance done

Just get your coats and get along

Ah, they’ve fooled me again

They have fooled me again

Music has ceased, time’s up

I’ll just grab my coat and crawl back home

And I can’t shake it off

I can’t shake it off
