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
