Shallow breaths wish to cease
From cracked lips and stained teeth
Haggard cheeks, dry and white
Wish to harden and end tonight
If only sleep could last forever
And wipe away all seen together
If only we had never met
That summer night, cool and wet

Its so easy to just pretend
I'm right back where I once began
But now I'm waiting for the end

Treacherous lips haunt my mind
Kissing on some other kind
Of man that I apparently can't be
Suffering from my own disease
Starving ribs, jutting out
From pale skin laying down
Alone in bed, wide awake
While she's all smiles with love to make

Its so easy to just pretend
I'm right back where I once began
But now I'm waiting for the end
