Just a Listener

Dark cabaret/ Jazz/ Art rock

Verse 1
I sit every evening on the same chair,
I see different people who come to repair
Their souls and minds. They shake my hand.
They share the dreams they can't understand.

I don't interrupt and I don't try to judge,
Even if they talk for too long or too much.
I'm just a listener, a quiet support.
That's what I thought... Yeah, that's what I thought.

Pre-Chorus
But in their silence
I find my name.
And every stranger
Starts looking the same.

Chorus
Keep telling me everything,
Put your worries on the table.
Show me your memory,
I thought I'd be able...

To carry your voices
(But they sound like mine!)
To copy your choices
(But I'm lost in your time!)

Verse 2
One old man talks about the coast,
Though he's never been to the sea.
A young one laughs about tomorrow,
Like it could keep the young feeling free.

Someone lost a child to darkness,
And someone says they haven't got a soul.
Someone swears they're finally healing,
While the doors to hell refuse to close.

Pre-Chorus
And when they leave,
They take the air.
But there's something
That keeps staying here.

Bridge
Now I can't remember
Which words are mine.
My senses begin to surrender
To the insanity of time.

Final Chorus
Keep telling me everything,
Put your worries on the table.
Show me your memory,
I thought I'd be able...

To carry your voices
(But they sound like mine!)
To copy your choices
(But I'm lost in your time!)

I don't know now
Which life is mine.
I'm feeling so close now
To crossing the last line.

I was never a listener at all...
I became every voice
Between these white walls.

Outro
Tomorrow there'll be someone new
Sitting on my chair.
