Open Up Our Ears

• Artist: Hadenshall
• Description: This song is has a twisted message, where say, you want to ask someone out, but don't want to get shot down, you'll never know unless you ask.
  
  This song is saying the opposite, if you know you will be shot down, don't bother asking.
  
  It's not a message I am putting forth, but a story I am telling.

You wonder why I speak slowly.
I'm trying not to waste your time,
For words unheard have no meaning
And poems unread will have no rhyme.

(Chorus)
Through our lips; they couldn't speak
For the secrets they would keep
And the world would shutter at your sigh
In the frozen depths of sin
where the words were diving in
Should we open up our ears or let them die
We will let them die

You wonder why I tread softly
I wonder why I buy time
If I could only write down
What it is that I see in your eyes

(Chorus)

I wrote you a letter
It spilled out my heart in ink
I hope that every verb pronounces
An image that you would love to see

Of rivers in the mountains
Of winds across the sea
I find it, beat and torn amongst the letters that came before
You take my hand and say to me

(Chorus)
