these words are slipping through my lips the way i've let everything fall between my fingertips at least a thousand times.
i've watched you make my heart glow so bright i see the light reflecting through my chest but then again, theres times you made me want to cut it out and watch it lose its life.
i never knew bittersweet until your eyes fell into mine.
whatever you project, sometimes it feels like love, sometimes like vines,
that keep me constricted, and all my muscles freeze, suspended in time.
i just wait for you to do it one more time.

you crawled inside, so sly, so slick. I accepted you here, so certain, so quick. watched as you pulled me away from the person i was before. I don't want to know that person anymore. i love what youve evolved me into. i love that theyve fallen for you.

--
youve chased me away from the places i hid. i buried myself perfectly under the dust id been in. i liked it there at the time i had thought. now my eyes see with new vision that you have taught. i have no secrets to hold from you. you lure them right out, crawling from my mouth, and when you hear what i have to say, your eyes, your face they dont change. they dont change.

so i know this feeling now. i thought i had known it before, but it was all just a hoax. out from my shell, i watched you coax me out. ive been wearing my new skin and wearing it strong. i didn't have time to try it on, but you seemed to know i'd like the fit.
