You're Listening to the Worlds (Chinese Man Remix)

I shy from the loudest voice

The serpent I avoid

Choose to fight a battle rare

It doesn't mean that I am bad

It doesn't mean that I am scared

It's just not worth the breath

I speak my mind when I'm at home

Censor when I'm not alone

Choose who I am open to

It doesn't mean that I am closed

It doesn't mean I've given up on hope

It's just not worth the breath

I hear when I must defend

When you've got naught to prove

I'll wait and listen to your view

It doesn't mean we must agree

It doesn't mean that you know me

It's just where it begins

We live in a time of change

Breathe in what remains

Left from worlds before

It doesn't mean we should destroy

Carry on mistakes ignored

It's just all too short

I cry when I can't express

This feeling of torment

When I can't get through to you

I do because I care

I do out of despair

Wish you could understand

I'm low when I get it wrong

When dreams have been shot down

When I reveal things I don't want to see

It doesn't mean I'm in denial

It doesn't mean I want to hide

But there's too much to bare
