I heard a whisper
behind my eyes
it said "whoever sees me dies"


I heard a whisper
behind my throat

saying "no words now, only notes"

Chorus:

And I cannot know what
keeps whispering these darts
I am at the mercy

of the voice behind my heart

I heard a whisper

behind my will
saying "I pour into what is still"


I heard a whisper
behind my fear
saying "come here"


Chorus


Wounding me
with all these
little arrows


Somehow grace can take the deaf
and put an ear inside their chest


Chorus
