SS & Matt Kaprelian
My Whole Wide World In Your Hands
I loved your hands strong and worked
When I was in them nothing could do me harm
But within those hands as vulnerable as I could be
Not for a second did I think they’d crush me
I put my faith into your palm
Lay my timid heart down in the other one
I was certain they were safe with you never fearing
What you were gonna do
Oh but those hands I loved would be the end of me
The moment they were yours you started to squeeze
Instant agony had me on my knees
You walked away never said a thing
Hands in tight fists still wrecking me
Found my heart on the side of an empty road
Deformed and covered in dirt and stone
But my conviction you clasp quietly
Choke until you hear nothing
I did no wrong I was terrified so I clawed and I
Screamed trying to breathe
Your head ached from the noise
My nails grazed your arm
You regarded my state of fear as a call to war
Released your grip smile on your face
Opened your mouth swallowed the trust I gave
Now you keep me caged
Within your darkness
Barred by your silence
My cell your void
The only way out by key
Should you speak I
Will be set free
