i am the voice of reason (breathing you breathing me)

i am the voice of reason (breathing you breathing me)

I wore the clothes you wanted
I took your name
If there is some confusion, who's to blame?

“I Took Your Name,” R.E.M.

i am the voice of reason

only when i laugh

only when i cry

if you stop to read the words

you are lost little lamb

you are lost lost lost

we sacrifice childhood on the alter

of everything we say

in order not to see

tra-la-la-la

tra-la-la-la

lips wasted telling all those lies

are best for kissing

are best for kissing

shhh

shhh

come closer please closer still

so close there will be no need for words

breathing you breathing me
