A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart pt. 3

It’ll be fine

Rumor and Innuendo

Verse 1
The television’s half-asleep,
static whispers in the wires.

You told me what you heard,
but it sounded like a choir
of broken voices—
half-believed, half-denied.

I carried them home,
like a fever in my mind.

Verse 2
The hallway lights flicker,
the neighbors keep their blinds closed.

Your shadow moves across the room,
I can’t tell what you chose.

You say it doesn’t matter,
but I hear the undertone.

Every silence between us
is a language of its own.

Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
drifting through the smoke.
I never know where you stand,
and I …don’t know… where to go.

Verse 3
Somewhere between the truth and the lie,
I keep losing track of time.

Somewhere between 
your eyes and mine,
the ground gives way, 
the words unwind.

Every whisper a shadow
Every shadow reminds

Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
drifting through the smoke.
I never know where you stand,
and I… don’t know… where to go.


Verse 1
The radio’s half-asleep,
static whispers in the wires.

You told me what you heard,
but it sounded like a choir
of broken voices—
half-believed, half-denied.

I carried them home,
like a fever in my mind.

Final Chorus
Rumor and innuendo,
echo down the hall.
I lean into the silence,
but I… don’t hear… you at all.
Rumor and innuendo,
it’s all we’ve ever known.
I’m standing in the doorway,
but I… can’t find… my way home.
