When Words Collide

Could you take the sharpest needle
And push it through my lips?

And please use the strongest thread
To sew my mouth shut
Cause I must bitterly admit
I've failed to bite my tongue

Time and again I have failed
To lock up these thoughts
Keep them hostage to my mind

Wading through the sea of shards
I threw at our feet
I never meant to let us bleed

Every incision is a reminder
That so much hides between the lines we speak
I truly hope our hearts can mend

Your chants of hope
Lighten up the darkest nights
And drown out the noise of thunder
Forced upon you

Don't let these bleak prospects
Get the best of you
You've taught me it's darkest before dawn
So please hold on to your dreams

Could I guess the damage done
When these thoughts escaped

Rest assured
I could never be
Indifferent about you

But my words can only fail
To stop the ringing in our ears
So with a heavy heart
I impose silence upon myself
I impose silence upon myself
Upon myself
Upon myself
Upon myself
