Whisperers

Whisperers

There were flowers in my garden, there was fruit in all my trees
There was a trail around the corner leading to the salty sea
But I let myself be blinded by the fire that you spit
Not realizing how bad I'd be burned by it
Not realizing how bad I'd be burned by it

Life is so absurd
You can search in all the ditches by the bridges that you burned
But you will not find a trace of whatever it was we were
You turned me into quite the flightless bird
When you told me that I couldn't say a word

But the façade was cracked and blistering, and so I started whispering
And in the whispers I found profound answers to some mysteries
Tales of classic textbook tactics used to rob people of their agency
Like "don't tell anyone", "don't be so sensitive"
"There is only you and me"
"And I promise you that there's no other girls"
"I'm a recluse, I don't have any other friends"
"It's you and me against the world"
"How dare you accuse me of lying", "You always get so triggered."
"Everything's your fault"
"You're a terrible friend but I would die without you
Now get back in my vault"
You were the puppet master pulling all the strings
You thought you shut us up but we were whispering
With the curtain open, prior was pretend
And what you said to me, you said to all of them
You wanted a mammy, a secret plaything
But I'm not your mother and I'm not your pet
There aren't enough words in that thesaurus app of yours to convince me to forget

Life is so absurd
You can search in all the ditches by the bridges that you burned
But you will not find a trace of whatever it was we were
You turned me into quite the flightless bird
When you told me that I couldn't say a word

There were frogs and snakes and chickens and grapes and cats and bats and thrones
It wasn't a rustic barn. It was a renovated studio five feet from my home
I brought you coffee every morning, but go ahead and tell them that you were all alone
If you're the narrator no one will ever know
But now the narrative is out of your control

There were flowers in my garden, there was fruit in all my trees
There was a trail around the corner leading to the salty sea
But I let myself be blinded by the fire that you spit
Not realizing how bad I'd be burned by it
Or how you'd break me down and make me feel like shit
I should have known that I'd be blown to bits
You're a ticking time-bomb
I should have known that I'd be blown to bits

Life is so absurd
You can search in all the ditches by the bridges that you burned
But you will not find a trace of whatever it was we were
You turned me into quite the flightless bird
When you told me that I couldn't say a word
You turned me into quite the flightless bird (or so you thought)
When you told me that I couldn't say a word (but you still got caught)
