Record Tracklist

  1. Clanging Cymbal -:-- / -:--

her face was in the news today
a window on a world away
from me sipping coffee at home
torn and tired, she risked her flight
in the cover of the night
i slept tucked in from the cold

don’t believe me when i say i love you
if today i say nothing at all

no one thought to ask his name;
‘cause don’t all those boys act the same
just one, two, and out goes a light
the sirens blend into the noise
but listening’s a privileged choice
for ears paired with faces like mine

don’t believe me when i say i love you
if today i have nothing to say
i’m warning you: my words cannot be trusted
if my lips are silent at this rage

i am just a clanging cymbal
i am just a noisy gong
if today i say nothing
i may sing in tongues of angels
but don’t mistake the song for love
if today i say nothing at all
