racing so fast, i'm forgetting to breathe
tripping over gasps and skipping over beats
tell my heart to stop, i plead and plead
this insane love is making my heart bleed

thoughts swarming in and out of my head
crashing with might and a kicking, brute force
the words on my tongue prove such a weight
is this free will, destiny, or some kind of sick fate?

drag me through your piercing thorns
drop thick mud into my glowing veins
trade this situation for a new one. no, that won't do
i'm deathly afraid to say, i really love you

dumping past complexities into my lap
and i now jointly receive them as my own
whimpering, as i fall more and more tame
bruised, bent, and beaten when i hear your name

i'm sympathetic to your abandoned ones
i too, am beginning to feel the permanent loss
i'll clench to you, as long as you watch after me
fearfully calling you mine, as long as you wish to be
