about

A 22-year-old Will Gillespie live-off-the-floor, solo acoustic.

lyrics

I remember I swallowed my heart.
They told me I had the part.
Not too many lines,
That was all well and fine,
a smoother ride from a bumpy start.

Each sunrise a new world I could conquer...
Everybody staking claims
Shaking hands, exchanging and forgetting names,
Not to be the same forever after.

Who will hear my lightest voice
in this heavy world of so much noise
and what is it I have to say
that's so important anyway?

The house lights are coming up.
I feel the curtain is about to drop.
I'll be alright, though it's been a long night
that I never want to stop.

Can't be pessimistic
unless you're doing something important
so I'm trying on a smile tonight
it's only entertainment
Then trying on a different smile
it's only entertainment.
