Mere words MAYBEPOP

Never once felt I aversion
Had you asked me from the heart
With foulness I’d impart
All my lies told for diversion

Mastered passions were my home then
Thoughts like in the olden days
In my silence did I stay
Devil’s silver tongue all cloven

And I took my grace for granted
Living life I was enchanted
Those are only
Those are only, I have heard, words, mere words

Bless my feet, I am astounded
Trust in blindness them I will
For I stand where they hold still
Head in stars, those feet are grounded

Light a candle in the twilight
Of the paths that I will tread
Sound nor silence will I dread
I will step into the limelight

And I took my grace for granted
Living life I was enchanted
Those are only
Those are only, I have heard, words, mere words
