I feel like the louder I try to speak the less you can hear the words
Must I whisper to you?
Must I hum my pain?
Must I hurt in this day and this time because you cannot listen to my screams?
Hold back my hair as I puke the words into porcelain
Because they cannot make it to your ears
Whisper sweet nothings because nothing could be as sweet as your words
Nothing could be as bitter as your intentions
And I love that you can hide them from me so well
Grasp my hands that cling to the edge of sanity
If you throw me down I'll be at your mercy
But if you pull me up my eyes will clear as will my mind
And I'll push you away forever
