Every word from my lips falls upon deaf ears
And I suffocate
How I love you, I should let you go
Strike your name from my mind
Throw all righteousness to the ground
I succeed empty space filled with might of beens
I close my eyes and see you there
But my eyes must be deceiving me
Because every other sense tells me I'm alone
Now all my waking hours melt into sleepless nights
If I could learn from my past
I'd possess the strength to walk away
And let your taste leave my lips but,
You still live in my every dream
And I fall away, but yet it still resonates
I wear my heart tattered on my sleeve
And I can hear you breathe while you're lying next to me
I hold you so dear to let if fade would tear me apart
If I left this behind, turned and walked away
Would the dawns light fall upon my face
And end this tragedy
Deep in the long black behind the shimmering blue
I swear I have seen the last soul that I care to
This is passion and it crawls on my skin
It sinks into my bones, soul, and I am whole again
I feel it filling me and I never want it to end
It burns in my veins and heart as I write in ecstasy
So sweet on my tongue, it burns away and
Blood can never flow enough to sustain
Empty promises fill me with lies
The deepest gray forever lives inside
I live this agony
Be still my tongue, for you know not what you say
The night wears on and so my patience thins
And I walk through this fire to purify the passion within
