​ode to silence

[Verse]
Can you wait a minute?
Can you even listen to me?
Can you understand this?
We won't make it through this, will we?
Carry my words with the greatest salt
Even though they weigh more than mountains
Ears a closed when my mouth is open
And my eyes pour out like fountains
I won't talk, no
My mouth is sewn shut
Now do you see me?
Can you see me?
Scared to speak with a guard
I can't look down
Can you see me?
You can't see me
Guess I'll pack up all I have
Leave our memories out of the bags I take, oh
Bury what's left of the sounds
You never heard me out, did you?
Oh no
