A Lost Cause                  
Music and Lyrics by Susana Sawoff                 
 
While you speak
I’m waiting for your hand
and you speak
but I’ve lost my faith to understand
 
Words can mean everything
too much room between the lines
and to consume
is to walk on landmines
 
If there’s only words left
we’re a long lost cause
if there’s only words left
don’t wait for applause
 
Inside a whale
I want to be
and its tongue
an honest bed for you and me
 
If there’s only words left
we’re a long lost cause
if there’s only words left
don’t wait for anything at all
 
And on and on
and more and more
you kill you kill you kill sometimes
 
But let the words stay true
so they’ll be small
and very few
but let the words stay true
