Quiet ward

The doors were left wide open like the emergency cleared them out Half of the hallway has been swallowed by the dark A monitor keeps flashing without a heartbeat tied to it The stretchers still hold traces of something violent happening here Ehva whispers, "It's hard not to hate this place." Keep your voice down Something's moving underground Something past the edge of reason circles all around If silence is the only wall that hasn't fallen down Then hold yourself together and don't make a sound Now that darkened room is starting to groan Its shoulders twitch in unpredictable bursts And though I can't see the others I know they're standing there One bends toward the wall like something inside is speaking Then Ehva's boot cracks a piece of glass And chaos learns our names Everyone screams Everyone runs Everyone suffers... at once Keep your voice down Something's moving underground Something past the edge of reason circles all around If silence is the only wall that hasn't fallen down Then hold yourself together and don't make a sound Walls covered in unfinished thoughts Names crossed out Dates repeated The same words until the surface starts to tear "I can hear myself when I'm not speaking." And underneath it... someone wrote: "It answers back." Keep your voice down Something's moving underground Something past the edge of reason circles all around If silence is the only wall that hasn't fallen down Then silence won't protect us when it all comes crashing down Keep your voice down.
