Firing Squad

I can't hear you 'cause my ears are ringing
I can't hear you 'til your steps can mean it
Must I wake again
To face your firing squad
The mind's best of intentions
The heart forgot
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Words like bullets pierce the skin
Of my belief each time you speak
Riddle my trust with cacophony
I can't hear you 'cause my ears are ringing
I can't hear you 'til your steps can mean it
All you say has proven fleeting
I can't hear you 'til your heart can beat it
Convince my innocence
Of what you're not
But no more can I bear
This same, tired façade
Your tongue is a trigger
Lips a revolver
Smoking gun can't hide the truth
As words repeat, you're cutting deep
Litter my hope with hypocrisy
I can't hear you 'cause my ears are ringing
I can't hear you when my trust is bleeding
All this time and you can't see it
Louder doesn't mean worth believing
Speak the truth, subtract the love
Kill me quicker than a lie ever could
Ever, ever could (2x)
I can't hear you 'cause my ears are ringing
I can't hear you 'til your heart can beat it
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you
