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
