w/ Du Brae

No Words

I loved your hands, strong and worked
When I was in them nothing could do me harm
Within those hands, as vulnerable as I could be
Not for a second did I think they would crush me

I put my faith into your palm
And lay my timid heart down in the other one
I was certain they were safe with you
Never fearing what you were going to do

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

I found my heart aside an empty road
Deformed and covered with dirt and stone
But my conviction, within your hands
You clasp quietly, choke until you hear nothing

I did no wrong, I was terrified
So, I clawed and 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

You released your grip, a smile on your face
Opened your mouth wide, 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 is by key
Should you speak, I will be set free
