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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
