I crave silence when you speak to me Words are typically weapons And I’m not used to compliments Your company is desperately unfulfilling Hiding is so much easier than Feeling warm embraces I’m anxious your arms are chains Your heart is a fire I’m a witch on trial For unproven crimes That only I’ve seen Only I know what lurks Behind my restless eyes Doubts and fears that repel Those like yourself Strength can be seen In someone unwilling To give up on someone Who already gave up On Himself Speak strong and hug hard Because the silence and chains Are all I’ve known Please prove me wrong Or end me quickly

The Witch Trials
I crave silence when you speak to me Words are typically weapons And I’m not used to compliments Your company is desperately unfulfilling Hiding is so much easier than Feeling warm embraces I’m anxious your arms are chains Your heart is a fire I’m a witch on trial For unproven crimes That only I’ve seen Only I know what lurks Behind my restless eyes Doubts and fears that repel Those like yourself Strength can be seen In someone unwilling To give up on someone Who already gave up On Himself Speak strong and hug hard Because the silence and chains Are all I’ve known Please prove me wrong Or end me quickly
