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
