The heart learns to be still
When beat into submission
Murder, disappointment, a rage
Which eats at the soul
The heart learns to be silent
And watches as the world is bundled and trussed
Learns to watch as time slows
And revolves around the naming of the obvious
The heart, still and silent
Holds secrets of its own
As it remembers and covets hope
In its burning maroon depths
When beat into submission
Murder, disappointment, a rage
Which eats at the soul
The heart learns to be silent
And watches as the world is bundled and trussed
Learns to watch as time slows
And revolves around the naming of the obvious
The heart, still and silent
Holds secrets of its own
As it remembers and covets hope
In its burning maroon depths
