歌詞

I had a sentence waiting

Small as a match in rain

Your eyes moved toward the doorway

So I put it back again

Peace has a price

I learned it young

My Mouth Closed First

Before the room could break

Before my truth stood up

And made somebody ache

I nodded through the weather

I smiled beneath the glass

Some people call that kindness

I call it learning fast

No one raised a hand

Still I disappeared

The silence knew my shape

It wore my name with care

I kept the table steady

By leaving myself there

There was no scream

No shattered plate

Just all my little no’s

Arriving much too late

I open now by inches

Not enough to bleed

Just enough to hear

The first small part of me
