Nothing teaches a lesson like a marred heart, Or so you'd think. The nights I had spent washing the red Down my bedroom sink I had the time to dwell And let my love for you swell I tried to hold it in. I committed my familiar sin. But in that front camera light, A simple slight smile Was enough to fill my body with delight And my veins with adrenaline. Searching for insulin To combat My lust for the sweet tasting gloss That hugged your lips. Whatever occupied my head Was often succeeded By the idea of you. The compass on my sleeve Directed me to believe In the break of a new morning. I watched you with others, And listened to you rant about them. Hated them when they cheated on you. Flashed green when they seemed sincere, Waiting patiently here, On that park bench, Where you left. I couldn't do it anymore, My room for silenced love was filled. Heart thumping, Mind racing, Desire lacing my skin, I was bursting at the seams, You even appear in my dreams, But to hold it in; Not again, not for anymore, I can't hold it in. Help me, Help me absolve my sin.

Silence Is a Sin
Nothing teaches a lesson like a marred heart, Or so you'd think. The nights I had spent washing the red Down my bedroom sink I had the time to dwell And let my love for you swell I tried to hold it in. I committed my familiar sin. But in that front camera light, A simple slight smile Was enough to fill my body with delight And my veins with adrenaline. Searching for insulin To combat My lust for the sweet tasting gloss That hugged your lips. Whatever occupied my head Was often succeeded By the idea of you. The compass on my sleeve Directed me to believe In the break of a new morning. I watched you with others, And listened to you rant about them. Hated them when they cheated on you. Flashed green when they seemed sincere, Waiting patiently here, On that park bench, Where you left. I couldn't do it anymore, My room for silenced love was filled. Heart thumping, Mind racing, Desire lacing my skin, I was bursting at the seams, You even appear in my dreams, But to hold it in; Not again, not for anymore, I can't hold it in. Help me, Help me absolve my sin.
