When the flame burned out, to ashes
turned out, we didn't stay friends
trying to see who could move on, the fastest
never lasted, in time it all ends
waiting for our dream to pass
nightmares on the creep, are we falling then?
seems like our best and worst times collided
hidding deep down in the abyss
we're calling earth, embodied by the skin we hide in
how did all this become of a kiss?
a little affection, traveling so far beside it
cause it's the bad times that we miss
when i'd follow you to the end of the earth
I had to stop and ask direction
or to ask you my worth
wondering how you caused this infection
deep under the dirt of my skin
following our pathetic attempts at perfection
each step from you I breathe
a little ligher, little deeper
a little softer, with more eaze
when she'd hold me down beneath her
I felt the light breeze
of an outside world I long to reach
just outside of my grasp
right off the tip of my finger
just next to the last laugh
the world's chorus as i'm lead singer
trying not to crash
as we let the love linger
she handles, a once broken heart, mending
can't bear to bring her
three words on the tip of my tongue, pending
staring at the sky, eyes track falling stars
forgiveness, never-ending
won't own up to something we're not calling "ours"
harsh words, so little survives
too close yet so far
bringing our own contradictions alive
pure silence, leaky faucet now a stream
brings the bee to it's hive
hall light flicks on, i'm blinded by it's beam
now a quarter past two
eyes wide as I dream
letting life pass through
feeling fire in my toes
reminds me, the touch of you
pulling them under the blanket, I feel the fire grow
subject? still lost in translation
how do I know?
so many questions, as I stand patient
pulling the lifeline from my cell
the train leaves station
dogs howl, as the moon starts to yell
hold out my empty hand...
checking to cold, but can't tell
pull it back full of nothing, still don't understand
thinking of the games I play
so many plans
more confusion from the names I say
feeling tired my eyes close
mind drifts away
...will I die like this?...only time knows
