She would forgive a truth,
if you'd lift her with a smile, like
you used to do.
She would bring the cuffs to you,
just to make you stay a while, as if you
wanted to.
So lie down, sleep around,
hearts bending now will break.
Your light shattering my calm,
a life sentence in your arms.
Breathe in now, breathe out,
a touch that suffocates.
Sirens wailing in alarm,
a life sentence in your arms.
His arm reads like a prison cell wall,
scratching days down as they pass, not
recalling them all.
His thoughts they twist and turn,
Investing everything in her and not,
expecting a return.
Will that be good enough for her?
So lie down, sleep around,
hearts bending now will break.
Your light shattering my calm,
a life sentence in your arms.
Breathe in now, breathe out,
a touch that suffocates.
Sirens wailing in alarm,
a life sentence in your arms.
So lie down, sleep around,
hearts bending now will break.
Your light shattering my calm,
a life sentence in your arms.
Breathe in now, breathe out,
a touch that suffocates.
Sirens wailing in alarm,
a life sentence in your arms.
