	Lyrics by Charlie Yaris For now I’ll measure my life in guitars, cause I’m still on number one. And count the titles of the songs I’ve not done, cause every title knows what to become. Can you handle the power of a song? I’ll need some trust before I vocalize my lyrics. Sometimes I hide those truths that make me strong, but if I’ll never dare them speak them I’ll sing them. Cause lyrics can’t be spoken, especially if your heart is broken. Lyrics can’t be spoken, but every words' chromatic note is a token. I walk my mind through these tranquilities, depicting lives I know I couldn't have led. And mark my words with probability, that my internal thoughts haven't been said. Can you handle the power of a song? I've been waiting so long for you to hear it. Someday I'll find my reason to move on, but until that day I think I will fear it. That's why lyrics can’t be spoken. Don't wait to sing if your heart is broken. Lyrics can’t be spoken. I'll leave my past inside the words I have chosen.

This song is about the power of words, the power of a song. For as long as I've played the guitar I've believed that songwriters have the incredible ability to express anything that they can't speak out-loud by merely singing. With this belief, I've strived to articulate my most private thoughts into lyrics. Finally, in the summer of 2013, I reached this feat. I had written my most private and intimate song yet, so personal in fact that I could hardly sing it. While that particular song is called Prone, Lyrics Can't Be Spoken is my best attempt to articulate that moment—when I realized that I couldn’t share my emotions the same way that I could share my song. Prone had transformed what I couldn’t even say to myself into something that I could reveal to anyone. I finally understood how powerful lyrics could be.
