The silent sea my enemy, you shut your mouth for me to speak. You’re bleeding. Overcast the scenery, you close your eyes for me to see you’re bleeding. A touch of hands and you withdraw and hide behind a secret law. You’re bleeding. To keep you safe you built a cage and shut a bird into a safe. You’re bleeding. Why don’t you see that you can heal, that open wounds should not be sealed? I read your pity and your pride, lonely companions by your side. You’re losing. When waters break through solid walls you’ll hear those nameless and aching roars. You’re broken. Why don’t you see that you can heal, that open wounds should not be sealed?
