mountebank - one stands on a podium to preach by trickery/stories
charlatan - one who sells papal indulgences in the town of Cerreto
quacksalver - one who attempts to soothe by prattling or boasting

I hear in my mind all of these voices.

I hear in my mind all of these words.

I hear in my mind all of this music,

And it breaks my heart,

And it breaks my heart.

- Regina Spektor
