Silver Tongue

There's a part of me that thinks this won't change
Change means loss and I'm not down to give you up
So I absorb
A part of everyone I see
Their grief- the defence of being mean

And you gleam by the water
With your tongue dripping silver

There's conversations I'm avoiding with myself
Seems closure's an island as far away as health
So I talk
To walls instead, walk where we first met
The swell, the monster under the bed

And you gleam by the water
With your tongue dripping silver

I'll narrate our epilogue
The final word's not enough
I didn't sense your dread
I didn't want it to end
I didn't want it to end

So I talk
To walls instead, walk where we first met
The swell, the monster under the bed

And you gleam by the water
With your tongue dripping silver

Silver tongue
