Hearsay Songtext
von Spooky Basements
Hearsay Songtext
I tasted sorrow and learned a lesson
Teenage melancholy comprises regret
I watched a rumor help end someone′s life
Gossip coaxed the killer to pick up the knife
We're not what we′ve done
We're not people's opinions
We′re just victims of puberty
Along with anxiety
We want the answer
But never ask the question
Self doubt is a cancer
More deadly than arrogance
We fear the unknown much like we fear ourselves
We try to dodge discomfort, but end up overwhelmed
We are self-conscious and lackadaisical
We act malicious like scared animals
We lather our bodies with trends to fit in
Maybe we′ve got it all wrong
Take a break from running
Because life isn't a race
Take a break from talking
And start listening
We have influence on all that surrounds us
Believe it or not your behavior′s contagious
All life's precious
And every action′s a privilege
There are so many people
That swallow the lies that are fed to them
Stand up to injustice
Stand up to injustice
Gossip's a weapon
Gossip′s a weapon
We're not what we've done
We′re not people′s opinions
We're just victims of puberty
Along with anxiety
We want the answer
But never ask the question
Self doubt is a cancer
More deadly than arrogance
In your final moments of vulnerability
Teenage melancholy comprises regret
I watched a rumor help end someone′s life
Gossip coaxed the killer to pick up the knife
We're not what we′ve done
We're not people's opinions
We′re just victims of puberty
Along with anxiety
We want the answer
But never ask the question
Self doubt is a cancer
More deadly than arrogance
We fear the unknown much like we fear ourselves
We try to dodge discomfort, but end up overwhelmed
We are self-conscious and lackadaisical
We act malicious like scared animals
We lather our bodies with trends to fit in
Maybe we′ve got it all wrong
Take a break from running
Because life isn't a race
Take a break from talking
And start listening
We have influence on all that surrounds us
Believe it or not your behavior′s contagious
All life's precious
And every action′s a privilege
There are so many people
That swallow the lies that are fed to them
Stand up to injustice
Stand up to injustice
Gossip's a weapon
Gossip′s a weapon
We're not what we've done
We′re not people′s opinions
We're just victims of puberty
Along with anxiety
We want the answer
But never ask the question
Self doubt is a cancer
More deadly than arrogance
In your final moments of vulnerability
