lyrics

Shielded in silence
All the sound ringing hope of what's to come &
Distorting all that was but wasn't meant to be -
At least not then

With covered ears, still turning dials
Amplified beyond control &
Taking hold of all you hear is you

Counting missteps
You build the staircase climbed to you
Pretend to hide, but open arms to what will kill
If let through

Grab the gun - sense him nearing now
Grab the gun - he can't hurt you if your eyes are closed
Grab the gun - swallow it all back down
But you won't fire...
You never will.

Imagined violence
Opening doors
Thoughts like daggers just for you
Each silver blade a clouded memory of him
You half-defend

With harbored pride
An unnatural smile
Fiction's your sense of control

I'm taking over me
I am what can kill
And you're still you
