Lyrics
[Chorus]
Hands over ears,
guard my heart.
Another lie told,
I'm torn apart,
Swallow your words.
You’ve said too much.
So spare me now
your trembling touch.
[Verse 1]
you stood too still to not get caught
you held your breath while I held the door
i spoke, and you were halfway gone
now look who’s bleeding across the floor
you saw the gash and stayed to stare,
like fate itself had nailed you there
the room went still as we prepared
the dark closed in with much despair
What did you expect of me?
A mercy I don’t own?
Tender words and gentle hands
For seeds that you had sown.
[Pre-Chorus]
One gentle lie upon your breath,
And love goes walking into death.
You fold your hands and feign regret,
But darling, I remember it.
...And I'll never forget
[Chorus]
Hands over ears,
guard my heart.
Another lie told,
I'm torn apart,
Swallow your words.
You’ve said too much.
So spare me now
your trembling touch.
[Verse 2]
I watched you pursue what you crave—
Some things don’t want to be saved.
You knew the cost before you stayed,
Yet chose the part you played.
You called it love when it felt wrong,
Then blamed me when it dragged along.
You held me close just long enough,
Then proved that close was never trust.
Like pulling petals just to see
Which parts of me would disagree.
Called it affection to twist the stem,
And wondered why it broke again.
[Chorus]
Hands over ears,
guard my heart.
Another lie told,
I'm torn apart,
Swallow your words.
You’ve said too much.
So spare me now
your trembling touch.
[outro]
feet perched on the balcony
heart transplant alchemy
thinking of what you mean to me
weighed against taking everything
and we drown in our agony
then gasp at the sights we see
like we can't believe the brutality
and sleep beneath the judas tree
Hush.
Hush.
Hush.
hush.
Hands over ears,
guard my heart.
Another lie told,
I'm torn apart,
Swallow your words.
You’ve said too much.
So spare me now
your trembling touch.
[Verse 1]
you stood too still to not get caught
you held your breath while I held the door

the dark closed in with much despair

A mercy I don’t own?
Tender words and gentle hands
For seeds that you had sown.
[Pre-Chorus]
One gentle lie upon your breath,
And love goes walking into death.
You fold your hands and feign regret,
But darling, I remember it.
