I live within a world of words – poetry is beauty to me
Come and dance your twisted poetry and breathe anew into me
Liberate my soul from this wretched warring flesh
So we can cure the common cancer spewing out between our lips
I need something more than this broken frame of mind – the ocean is a freedom only lovers find
So if I’m drifting in the ocean hopin’ I can stay afloat than you’re the waves that pulled me under
And you’re filling up my lungs. You seemed so innocent, in a sense
But I lost confidence when I sensed the tension in the messages you sent
I’m a broken hopeless, mess, unfocused. Hopin’ he can hocus-pocus something spoken
Clear the smoke that’s fogging up my mind – Let’s rewind
She’s my nemesis, my damsel of distress. She asked me for my heart, I cut it out to acquiesce
Then I laid it her feet so she could be for me the beat that sends my blood throughout my arteries
Tangled up; so woe is me, or woe is she? I know the code, she holds the key
Tangled up in chains – it’s the beauty of our poetry
My world of words is crashing down around me. All the stars are falling from the sky
Now it’s just you and I
Yeah, you’re a star in your own right, speaking in tongues beneath the moonlight
Chemistry and science in our palms like alchemy – drink the poison slowly, baby
Thou art gold. Winter’s snow brought a cold that we’d never known – but lit a fire in our bones
Now we’re both reduced to ashes. It’s amazing how time passes when we’re living it alone.
That’s why I’d rather stay at home, so when my shit starts ringing I just stare into my phone
No, I don’t want to play a show – I wanna, I wanna hide the day away ‘cause I’m afraid of what I’d say
It’s like my mind is not my own, or like I’m losing all control. Low-er than I ever felt before
Paranoia Agent – who’s that knocking on my door? I fight agoraphobic tendencies
That’s why I never fail to mention these, to mention thee, these wretched things.
Now it’s just you and I
I opened up my heart and let in every single inch of you,
But over time it broke apart because a heart can never beat for two.
