Shut Traps

we don't believe each other
we shut our traps
unsure which side is in or out
only of the lock here
my reasons and yours
between
my body and yours
and as long as it takes my hands
to rub down these walls
or world for another pair
it's fine. they won't be yours
i'm looking for. they won't be anyone's
unless that one can see my fists hide things
and leave them closed. leave me be
let me sing and swear
i want them empty
but never pry them from their gnarl
